Vegaskip Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share #961 Posted October 18, 2022 Thanks for commenting. Sorry , I no longer sell my paintings. This is my hobby, I am not a professional artist.I’m 81 and not all that 'mobile', I really don’t need the hassle of sending stuff overseas and everything that goes with it. I have been painting most of my life. I have seen works of most 'popular' Marine artists, so probably seen works by Dews. stay safe Jim ps. If you are anywhere near Auchtermuchty, pop in. I don’t mind selling 'over the counter'. AJohnson, mtaylor and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Pellett Posted November 15, 2022 Share #976 Posted November 15, 2022 Pheasants are not supposed to be native to the Midwest USA. Supposedly they were imported from China. I thought those in Britain might be non-native too. That’s why I asked the question. Roger mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
