Meet the Artist

Eric ThompsonI have been painting watercolours now for over 25 years and still love the first touch on handmade paper with a large brush of pure watercolour. For me a set of watercolour paints inspires me to want to produce a beautiful painting. Whether it be an open landscape or a busy street scene, I try to capture the essence and emotions that attracted me to the subject, and transfer that to the paper. Nothing else matters until that picture is finished.

I have had exhibitions in many parts of the UK as well as The Channel Islands where I have regularly sold every one of my watercolours on show. My paintings are in many collections including Tony Blair, Lord Barnard and David Bellamy the naturalist.

My work is now available as Giclée Limited Edition Prints and can be bought from this site or at Bondgate Gallery in Bishop Auckland. The gallery is run by my daughter Lynn who also deals with website orders. If you would like more information she is the best person to help you. Her email address is below.

Please browse through the gallery and thank you for your interest in my work.
