I love to capture the effects of light on water in breath-taking colours, in a style that captures that moment in time we recall from holidays that live with us our whole life.

Howard Birchmore Paintings

 A modern look at a traditional vision describes my work.  Time spent in the West Country and abroad has provided variety and depth to my paintings with Italy and particularly Venice being especially inspirational.

My work records intense colour, light and shade.  The romance and drama of the Mediterranean has resulted in some of my most evocative pictures.

My paintings have been purchased for private collections throughout the world and have been selected for exhibition by the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Guild of Aviation Artists.
