  Hopefully I will find people who are interested on this site. Think I'll leave it alone for a while and come back later to see what precipitates!!

  Maybe my websites are too complicated. It has occurred to me. I rely on people who visit to select different areas of interest and focus there and suspect they might get a bit lost in the variety of work I have documented.

  Do you think something simpler might be more useful in seeking commissions from the landscape world?

  I think you could consider shows like the Country Living fairs in Islington (http://www.countrylivingfair.com). I've been there a couple of times in the last year and they're full of the kind of customer that I think you'd be selling to. Moore Designs were there http://www.mooredesigns.co.uk/ this spring.  Obviously you'd need to take smaller pieces, but it would also be an opportunity to show off the larger stuff to those who were drawn in.

  I've loved looking at your website, but I also think you're right that you'd benefit from focussing people's attention on one area of your work. Taking them to Gardens, and then subsections of sculpture, seats and railings etc would, I think, give a clearer view of your interest in that area for the private market.

  Nice well made work Richard, always a tricky thing to get people to appreciate and pay for time and creativity.
