Welcome to Art-Marco. I am a self taught UK artist and produce my work as an avocation. As a result, should you wish me to produce an artwork for you, my prices cover the cost of materials and a small charge for my time only, so commissions are extremely competitive. If you like what you see and want to read more I catalogue the works I produce as commentaries in my blog. I hope you will find them interesting and instructive. To explore the three galleries below use the Galleries menu button or just scroll down. To order a commission is simple, just contact me directly using the contact button or follow the order process. Each of my works are unique and as a result there is not a shop on this site, it is for reference only. I hope you enjoy browsing the galleries and reading my blog. If you would like to find out a little bit more or wish to contact me please click on the "More- Menus" button above. I welcome feedback and comment so please get in touch to discuss one of my works using the contact button above.

Painting Silence

Latest Blog Extract

Antiques Roadshow £6000 estimate.

Some paintings whisper rather than shout. They invite you to stop and admire. That was very much the case with Eric Wilson’s original watercolour. Quiet, restrained and beautifully economical, it captured a frozen coastal landscape with a sense of space that felt both physical and emotional. What shocked those watching and myself was the valuation placed on this small but very significant watercolour, between £6000 to £8000.

This blog explores the process and techniques I used and shows below my own rendition of Wilson’s watercolour. This is a reasonably close personal interpretation inspired by his work. I talk about how the atmosphere was built, the challenges of painting snow and ice, and what it means to respond creatively to a picture already rich with history.
