Capture the elements...<br />
Anthony Giles can often be found in the fields and<br />
beaches of Kent, capturing the beauty of sunlight<br />

His passion for landscape art is evident in every sketch<br />
and finished painting, and his use of light highlights<br />
his standing as a contemporary artist. To see ‘Light<br />
and other colours’, visit Lovelys Gallery, Margate<br />
