Hi, I'm offering framed and/or mounted original watercolours to people living in the Guiseley, Menston, Ilkley, Otley, Yeadon, Skipton, Rawdon, Shipley, Keighley, Bradford, North Leeds or Harrogate area, or any UK address by post (painting only). See images, sizes and prices above and/or below.

Here’s how it works:
1. You email me ( ianhobsonuk@yahoo.com ) with your choice of painting – obviously, it’s first come first serve.
2. I reply to confirm that the painting is still available (or to let you know if it’s not).
3. You make an online donation**, for the correct amount, to any charity (or charities) you choose and get a receipt email.
4. You forward a copy of the receipt(s) to me.
5. I reply and, between us, we work out how I can safely get the painting to you.

**An alternative to an online donation is make a donation at a charity shop and get a receipt.  Or, if you twist my arm, I will accept cash, in which case I'll make an online donation and email you the receipt.

I can also offer framing, for an extra £30 donation to charity per frame - including the cost of the frame. (Choose a frame style at http://wydaleframing.com but leave the ordering to me).  Note: 16" x 12" and 20" x 16" are standard frame sizes, but other sizes can be ordered.  See more frames on the Wydale stall in Otley Market (Fri or Sat) or Ripon Market (Thurs).

Please tell your friends and family!
