Welcome

"It seems like an age since the site went live earlier in the year. All the responses to the new look and feel of the site have been very positive.  Time waits for no man though and it is my intention to forge links to the site with and twitter and facebook. The new homepage painting will be up there for a while as it is a painting I have have donated to The Pilgrim Bandits charity, which helps the rehabilitation of injured soilders. In this instance my brother Chris, a reservist NCO, with the rifles, is helping to raise money to help take injured soilders to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Feb 2012.

A direct pledge / bid for the painting can be made direct to Chris at christonaughton@yahoo.co.uk 

All money donations to help the charity can be made at  http://www.bmycharity.com/sharpessummit " JN 2011

James Naughton paints landscapes. Breathtaking landscapes that bear the ravages of wind and rain, yet remain imposing, defiant, at times almost intimidating. Within them, the artist expresses the sense of wonder and surprise he feels in nature, and records the essence of his experience.
