    Alan Harris is my favourite to....not only because he is my dad, but because when you look st the art you really feel you are 'there'. They look so real. Especially as for some paintings i was there when he got the idea!!!! haha. But i guess my opinion is going to be abit bias!

    I think they all look pretty much grey and white at the moment. Well from the views we would get of them! You will know as soon as you see them anyway. Sure you will get one.
