Absolutely gorgeous imagery!

The subtle colorations, the abstractions, are stunning!  I've hand colored my work for twenty or more years, and am quite impressed by that aspect of these photos!  And then, I need to ask the tech side - what kinds of paper, what kinds of oils or pencils, that kind  of thing. 

There is such a sense of peace, and calm, and some sensuality as well, in these pieces.  Compositionally quite strong, great placement of horizon, terrific "atmosphere" in each. 

To have #10 on my wall would be a very nice thing indeed!

Wow! I didn't even know we were due for a new guest gallery, so it's great to see this. I've been so slack with regard to getting new content on the site, but I hope to start up again in September.

Back to these photos: as someone who used to spend a lot of time taking photos at beaches which look an awful lot like this I can say that it's WAY harder making photos of this sort look this good than you could possibly think. Quite an achievement indeed therefore & like others here I'd love to see these in the flesh. Suspect they'd look super tasty at a reasonable size (something like 2 feet across - circa 60 cms).

The work displayed in the gallery is superb and deeply contemplative for me.  It brought back to mind the pinhole platinum palladium seascapes of Tom Barrill or the seascapes of Sugimoto.
