Buying Paintings

Buying, or at least viewing paintings over the internet is obviously not ideal, paintings after all are not just images, they have a presence, a physicality. I do think however, one can get a pretty good idea of what one likes even in cyberspace. For this reason I am very happy to offer a money back guarantee to any purchaser. If a particular painting interests you check with me by email or phone and I will let you know if it is still available and what the shipping costs will be.

If you would like to know when I might be exhibiting near you sign up for the mailing list 'News' or send me an email.

Commissioning a Painting

If you would like to enquire about commissioning a portrait or a painting, please phone or email me. I have completed many commissions and can provide examples of past work relevant to your particular project along with references and responses from previous clients.
I have written a page here about portrait commissions

Visiting Provence and the Comtat Venaisson

The Comtat Venaisson area of Provence is stunningly beautiful at any time of year, but the time to see it at its very best, is Spring and Autumn. The Ventoux region is very well placed for transport, with Marseille's international airport an hour's drive away and the TGV at Avignon providing fast and reliable rail links to Paris, London and the rest of Europe. If you would like more information about the Ventoux area then I suggest you visit some other web sites of interest, particularly the Hostellerie de Crillon-le-Brave which is very informative. The Hostellerie is a superb Hotel set up ten years ago by two enterprising Canadian's, and it just happens to be on my doorstep. A member of 'Relais and Châteaux' it has a rather good restaurant and the terrace has commanding views of Mont Ventoux and is a beautiful spot to eat out on a summers evening. Their website has lots of useful information on the area, how to get here, and things to do. If wine is your big interest then the place to stay is at Domaine des Anges. Janet and Malcolm Swan have lived here for over 25 years, making superb wine under the Côtes du Ventoux appellation (with an occasional chardonnay which has to be labelled vin de pays du Vaucluse). Their property includes several gîtes to let and Janet can be contacted through me. Another source for property to rent in the area is John Reese at www.france.co.nz. He runs a travel business from Wellington, New Zealand, which includes much of the best property to rent in the area. The nearest rental properties to Crillon-le-Brave are in the village Caromb 2 kms down the hill. Le Charmery (CAR102) even has some of my paintings on the walls.
