Welcome to The Marloes Gallery

My name is Christopher Jessop; I live in Marloes, a Pembrokeshire coastal village in the far west of Wales. Nearly everyone here leads a busy life; when I can, I draw and paint. I like to take the basic kit wherever I go, because one cannot predict sketching opportunities. Also, there’s no telling when other sorts of ideas will arise: I write, too, so pencil and paper must always be handy. I nearly always paint in oils, sometimes using acrylic to block in the basic composition because acrylics dry fast. Whenever possible, I work on location.

I have only recently activated this site, so please bear with me. I will be loading images and posting journal entries as time allows.

PLEASE NOTE:
1) This is not a sales website: I think people should only buy pictures if they have stood in front of them. So, there are no prices. If you live in Pembrokeshire or you will be visiting and you are interested in viewing works, please send me your ‘phone number via “Contact Me” above.
2) Unless stated otherwise all images on this website are by me, and I own the copyright.
