So as life tends to go.. keeping up is hard to do!
A while since my last blog.. but that's not because life has slowed down.. the exact opposite!
Things have been a little on the hectic side, juggling work and family life and at the tail end of a great summer holiday season I'm looking forward to gathering my thoughts, taking a little time to go slower and getting to work on some more photographs for you!
This summer has been filled with hot sunny days and a very busy Gallery so I've not managed to get out and photograph as much as I would have liked to but I have had a few sporadic opportunities....
So there are a few pieces of new work up on the website now available to purchase.. this one 'One hundred and Seventy Seven Sailboats' was taken as I was leaning out of my friends plane at about 7.30am during the Round the Island Race on July 1st. I love the moody skies and the lone red sail in front of The Needles.. and yes there actually are 177 Sailboats as I got my assistant to count every single one! Haha..
As the season starts to slow down there will be much more time to work on things and to do what I love the most... get out there and take the photographs! So keep a look out..
I hope you have had a great summer and I will endeavour to share more of what is happening with you as I go along..
Any enquiries please do not hesitate to contact me and f you'd like to receive my weekly newsletter then subscribe at the bottom of the home page.
Nice to be back in touch...

I dream of seeing this - the return of whales to the waters around the Isle of Wight. Not so long ago, in the lives of our great grand parents, whales were a common sight and were even hunted in the Solent.
In the painting I've imagined a Fin Whale breaching with the Needles lighthouse behind. Lit by a crescent moon, you can also make out St. Catherine's and Hurst Lighthouses in the background.
The picture began life as a big messy watercolour, which I then rework in photoshop. Click here- The Return Of The Whale - neil williams
THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE..
Paula Russell won our raffle for Ukraine ( She was so very happy when we spoke!). We are even more thrilled to tell you we sold 641 tickets, which means that with Gift Aid we were able to send £8012.50p to UNICEF in Ukraine yesterday. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us in this - you guys are amazing!
