As one of Royal Worcester's leading artists, I specialized in painting some of their most prestigious vases. Since leaving the Company to go freelance in 1980 my work has been sought after by collectors in the United Kingdom, USA, Europe, The Far East, and Australia.

are frequent commission requests. These affordable paintings can be tailored

Fund Raising Solutions
Commissioning a painting with an edition of prints can be a lucrative fund raising idea. Prints, greeting cards, mugs, plates and calendars can be sold and the original painting even raffled! Churches, schools, clubs and pubs have all used this concept successfully in the past.
Commercial Gift Ideas
Business's, restaurants, pubs, hotels and golf clubs can commission prints, postcards, greeting cards and brochure illustrations for marketing and direct selling.
Gallery owners and agents contact Chris direct on 01905 24560
Hand Painted Porcelain
As one of Royal Worcester Porcelain Company's leading artists I painted
their most exclusive vases until leaving in 1980 to embark upon a freelance
career as a full time watercolour artist. I have, however, continued to paint
on china, concentrating mainly on "one off" plaques, vases and plates
for individual clients.
As well as game birds, wildfowl, animals & still life it is possible to
have houses, churches, views and family pets painted onto bone china. Simply
email me with your ideas.

Painting Holidays & Tuition
After initially teaching watercolour painting on the small Greek Island
of Alonissos in the 80's, my wife Jane and I finally decided to set down some
roots there.
With the help of some very good friends on Alonissos we discovered an old
olive grove surrounded by pine forest overlooking the Aegean - a perfect location
for us both - nothing but the birds and cicada's to wake us up in the morning!
But within walking distance to the main harbour for supplies and beaches for
swimming. After buying the land in 2005 we designed our own house and studio,
it was completed in 2006, and we are now lucky enough to live and work there
from May to October.
In addition to painting and completing commissions, I organise painting holidays
and classes throughout the summer (as featured in the Sunvil Holidays Specialist
Greece 2008 brochure).

About the Artist
I left Swansea University in the 1970's and trained as a ceramic artist
at the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company. After becoming one of their leading
painters I turned freelance in 1980. Since then my watercolours, oils and
ceramics have sold to galleries and collectors in the UK, Japan, USA, Australia,
the Middle East and Europe.
Together with my wife Jane, I am now lucky enough to spend the summer months
painting and holding watercolour painting courses from our house on the Greek
Island of Alonissos. Whilst there I'm enjoying working with oils and watercolours
as I attempt to capture the wonderful colours and light of the Aegean.
We return each Autumn to our UK home to catch up with family and friends and
of course continue painting.
I hope that you've enjoyed looking through my website, if you would like any more information please email either Jane or myself on.. janechris.hughes@tesco.net
