Rosemarys Brushes
These are the finest brushes that money can buy and as with every aspect of my work, I cut no corners on quality! Painting as I do almost every day my brushes take an enormous amount of punishment and even though I sometimes fail to take as much care of them as I should, they have served me well.
They also offer gift vouchers so you can send the artist in your life a really special present!

Roy Connelly
As a dedicated plein air painter myself I am always interested in the careers of other artists devoted to working directly from nature eschewing the camera and comforts of the studio and responding directly from nature and testing their techniques in conditions which can vary from pleasant to downright inhospitable.
"Roy Connelly paints highly evocative small oils of London. Always painting "en plein air" he captures many much loved scenes of London, particularly along the River Thames and the South Bank."

The Osborne Studio Gallery
A small stock of Michael Richardson's work is held by the Osborne Studio Gallery, 2 Motcomb Street, London SW1X8JU
The Osborne Studio Gallery was opened by the Princess Royal in March 1986, in Floral Street, Covent Garden. It was named after the well-known sculptor James Osborne, who played an integral role in the founding and running of the Gallery, until his untimely death in 1992. The Gallery has been firmly established for the last 10 years in Motcomb Street, SW1 where it hosts a changing programme of exhibitions each year, complimenting its large and varied stock
The Osborne Studio Gallery specialises in sporting paintings and bronzes by leading contemporary artists, with an emphasis on horse racing, and has additionally branched out over the years to handle the works of many respected landscape and figurative painters. The Gallery has always sought to promote artists of the greatest talent, in particular those whose work appears to be impervious to fashion.
Upon request, the Osborne Studio Gallery would be delighted to send out catalogues for forthcoming or current shows, and a warm invitation is extended to come and visit the Gallery in the heart of Belgravia, central London.

The Wapping Group of Artists
Described by famous Gallery Owner Chris Beetles as "the last proper painting Society in England" it is a plein air group of 25 professional artists who have chronicled the history of the River Thames since the 1930's. Chris's viewpoint is founded in the fact that most modern societies lamentably fail to have any joint activities worth mentioning and exist for the AGM and the Annual Show! Not so the WGA which not only has an outdoor painting programme covering the six warmer and drier months but also has an active social programme, frequently including painting holidays to Holland Belgium and France.
