My sincere season's greetings, wishes of a Merry Xmas and the happiest, most prosperous New Year to all at DA!

I hope you've all made at least one art related resolution. I have. :)

At present, I am currently relaxing on a well deserved break with my family from Art, work and computing, sampling a few of my favourite wines, stuffing myself with choc's and dreading the inevitable panic diet afterwards!

I am also doing lots of house maintenance that builds up whilst I am traveling. :(

Meanwhile, thank you so much to those who purchase a print of, :+devwatch:, comment on, :+fav: and even view my artwork. I sincerely appreciate it. :worship: + :hug: I do try to reply to all comments, though there's simply far too many :+fav:'s and :+devwatch:'s for me to thank those who do so individually. If I tried, I'd simply never get any painting done!

And remember that if anyone is interested in a signed gicleé print, they are only available via my website: R Young Art. Please e mail me at inquiries@ryoung-art.co.uk with your requirements and to discuss the details. However, I can't offer the full range of print types and sizes that DA offer as I simply don't have time to administer such a range. What I can promise is absolutely outstanding quality from my professional Epson Stypus Pro 7880 wide format printer on the highest quality Epson 350gsm heavyweight Premium Satin poly/cotton (65/35) water resistant art canvas at a high definition 2880 x 1440 dpi and using UV resistant 9 colour 100% pigmented inks guaranteed lightfast for 75 years. This canvas has a slightly glossy surface and may be stretched for framing if required. I can also print on Epson's heavyweight fine art paper if required.

Also, I am always on the lookout for representation by publishers, galleries, agents, licensors and other representatives by the way, in case this is you, or in case you know one who may be interested in my artwork...

And I welcome any opportunity to generate a little publicity via exhibitions, magazine articles, interviews, blogs, etc...

If you have a Facebook account, why not be my friend at Richard Young Also take a look at and 'like' my page at R Young Art

Finally, take care, have fun and if you are a biker, ride it like you stole it...
  • Mood: Optimism
  • Listening to: Linsdey Buckingham 'Go Insane' live @ full volume
  • Reading: Mick Fleetwoods autobiography
  • Watching: My kids grow older while I remain the same age...
  • Playing: On my Ducati when the rain subsides
  • Eating: Biscuits, chocs, biscuits and more biscuits.
  • Drinking: Tea. Red wine @ the weekend...

You're welcome ! I really love your art : some pieces seems, like the one I commented (that's it ? sorry I'm French...), to be photographies and... well I've been surprised to see they are paintings !
And I have to thank you because I draw a dancer today during french class (so boring !) faster than other days : see some positions like the one in your paintings can just inspire me and make my anatomic positions better... I've just a problem with the arms !TT

Thank you and keep practicing. You will get there. Art is all about luck, and the more you practice, the luckier you will be! :)
