Take a look at Paul Cook's website:

www.artofangling.net

He's based just outside north-west London and does some excellent engravings and will do one-off commissions.

John Searle has a shop in Ringwood; he certainly does watercolours. There's also Roger McPhail, though I think he's based in the north.

As does the man who did your avatar, SR.
His name is R Kyle. and he works in the tackle shop in Fort William
I can't find his website but he has an extensive watercolour catalogue

I'll take a look tomorrow. The wife has covered the walls in Ayrton Senna art, it's time I redressed the balance.

Decided to take a quick look before bed and they are excellent.... I had already found a couple of them.

What I am after is something like this

http://www.dianemichelin.com/gallery.html

but with UK scenery. The scenery in those paintings are VERY North American.

If you like watercolorists, take a look at Chet Reneson.
