A beautiful use of colour which, to me, makes them outstanding. Thanks for sharing some of them with us, I shall try to discover more as a result.

Love the vibrancy of his paintings. The inanimate comes alive! Thank you, Mr. Collins.

I love the life in them with their glowing colour and strong composition.
