    Hi Ian,
    Your watercolours are fabulous. I like to paint watercolour but am not an artist by any means, I just love to paint in detail, and my favourite subject are trees, and as I live within a stone’s throw from Sherwood Forest and the Major Oak, I get lots of inspiration from walking there almost every day. To achieve a fraction of your quality painting would be a dream, but at 82 years of age I think I shall run out of time.
    I have just found your work on line and want to say thank you for the images which I could look at all day.
    Many thanks
    Mike Wheeler
