ETSY Listing

Well I have dipped my toe in the waters of sales!
Though I would try listing a painting on ETSY to see how it works and to see what sort of response I get.

I have listed my Southerndown painting as;

Southerndown After the Storm

Following on from my Southerndown painting, I thought I would like to carry on the sea theme.
After all I see the sea on a daily basis so it is forming a big part of my life now!

So the next painting is a large canvas 30 x 40 inch Stormy Sea

Storm Coming

As the weather this week has been a little moody to say the least I though that I would produce a work to reflect this. After spending a little time working on this last night (05/05/2015) I though I was going to get wet taking the dog (Tequila) for a walk, It wasn't even raining!

Have needed to leave parts dry
