  1. Lovely paintings, I particularly like the bright coloured Lulworth Cove one, has much commercial potential, I think.

    1. The sketches are not really removable from the book, but as the basis for a future painting, 'tis a posssibility. Although I did note the sign on the approach to the Cove which said, "Photography, filming and painting for commercial purposes is not permitted on The Estate without our express consent." - http://www.lulworth.com/education/information.htm
