My artwork

Hello and welcome to my wonderful gallery. All the pictures shown are all hand painted by me. In fact the whole favour of doing fine art is to return "Gods favour"; secondly to my wife whom prepared the suitable Adequate positions to do fine art.  
Most of them are done with oil colours and some are done in black and white/ink.

Most of these paintings are very old so I will try my best to describe each one.
