It's been six weeks since we launched the Your Paintings website and we're now looking forward to sharing even more of the nation’s paintings with you. 

We’ve had great feedback from everyone to date so thank you all for your encouraging comments and suggestions! We’ve also had overwhelming participation in our Art Detective scheme, with hundreds of you helping us to uncover the mysteries behind some of the paintings. The PCF will soon start the detailed process of investigating all these new insights but we can always use more so if you know something about any of the paintings in the public collection, do get in touch! (Remember to include the title and URL of the painting in your email to us, if possible). 

Over the coming weeks and months we are planning to launch new collections from across the UK and exciting new features too such as resources for teachers and My Paintings - a tool which you can use to create your own collection. 

In the meantime you can get your artistic fix by watching our fascinating and entertaining collection of celebrity Guided Tours. Planning a holiday in the UK? Let Matt Baker take you on a tour of British landscapes. Looking for love? Check out Tracey’s Cox’s insights into the body language of romantic paintings. 

Got a favourite guided tour? We’d love to hear your feedback so leave us a comment below and watch this space for further updates.
