The Art of Frank Wesley
ABOUT FRANK WESLEY
This web site includes many of Frank's works. The site covers religious paintings and secular works in three separate galleries. The idea of the web site is to display low quality digital copies of his work. The copyright for all Frank's works of art is owned by his immediate family. There should be no reproduction without permission. If you wish to use any of these works, a high quality digital image or loan of the photographic slide can be arranged by emailing nasim_wesley@yahoo.com where terms and conditions of use can be explained. Due to the inherent problem of getting photographs to match the original subtle colours of a paintings we have a number of digital copies of some of the painting in varying hues.
