Historical military artist
Mark Churms was born in Wales in 1967. He gained his degree in
Architectural Studies at Oxford Polytechnic in 1989, but soon his interest
in drawing buildings was surpassed by his love of painting horses and in
1991 he began work as a freelance artist. His first commissions were for
sporting subjects, Polo, Racing and Hunting. However his consuming passion
for military history, A major part of the collection was the paintings of Colonial
India and the wars in India and also the Napoleonic era, quickly became
his dominant theme, with the invaluable counsel of French military experts
(accuracy in uniform and terrain of the various battles takes a great deal
of time and consultation with many experts across Europe). Mark Churms
joined Cranston Fine Arts in 1991 and for a period of 8 years, was
commissioned for several series and special commissions. His series of the
Zulu War, and of the Battle of Waterloo were the highlights during this
period. Mark Churms' deep understanding and detailed knowledge of the
period made Mark at that time one of the most prolific and successful
artists for Cranston Fine Arts. Cranston Fine Arts are proud with their
series of superb art prints and original paintings painted by Mark Churms
in this period. We now offer Mark Churms art prints in special 2 and 4
print packs with great discounts as well as a number of selected original
paintings at upto half price.

David Dipnals evocative images of the restful idyllic scenes of southern England are well known, epitomising, as they have for years, all that is endearing about traditional English landscapes. His well known images of his beautiful and fertile homeland are a world away from Australia, where he now spends most of his time. In the last decade, David Dipnall estimates that he has travelled nearly 2 million miles, continuing to maintain a busy work schedule of exhibitions and regularly commuting between England and Australia. His originals are highly sought after, and over fifty of his images have been published as limited edition prints, many of which have sold out. Always a traveller, he believes in the philosophy that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and his beautifully detailed traditional English landscapes are definitely painted from the heart.
