Ocker,
I had a look at your website last night, and was MOST impressed. Amazing what untrained artists can produce! I think your work is beautiful. As a very keen rugby fan, and Richie McCaw fan, I was blown away by your portrait of our Captain Fantastic
I'm not an artist myself, but live with one, and know something of how hard it is to get work in front of the public so you can sell it. Hanging out a shingle must take special courage. I wish you all the best in your new venture.
.......and keep up the great work

The weather hasn't stopped people banging on my door Ocker, and I'm not even open! 
I love the Richie McCaw portrait too Wekanz. Don't think my hubby would be impressed with me drooling over his painting on the wall.

Don't worry, word of mouth is a good advertisement Ocker. Art comes in all styles and appeals to different types of people. 
One of my favourite sculptors down this way, as much as I love his work, it is way out of my pocket money. 
Only just found out he has just started work with my husband, and he mentioned he is exhibiting his work at Riverton this month. 'Ray I'll be working there this Sunday, and looking forward to what he has been working on lately.
