Portrait of Lucy

Oil painting on board 8in. x 6in. SOLD
Portrait study of a pretty heifer calf named Lucy.

Shady Ivory

Oil painting on board 8in. x 8in.  A loosely rendered study of a black and white cow named Ivory, obviously having a good scratch in a cool shady spot.
I love painting movement, it allows for experimentation and creates such interesting angles and shapes.

Paint Horse Foal Painting

Pretty Baby-Paint Foal Portrait. SOLD
Oil painting on artist board 9in. x 12in.  Such a pretty foal just had to be painted.

Playful Pig Painting

Playful Pig.  Small oil painting on board 6in. x 8in.  SOLD
I have been too unwell to paint much lately so depicting this funny little pig cheered me up.

New Calf Painting

New Calf.  Small oil painting on board 6in. x 8in.
For me this painting was all about the great shapes and tonal values produced by the way this little fellow is lying down.  When I am choosing a subject to paint these are the elements which excite me the most, as I can experiment with creative brushwork and backgrounds.

Bonded-Cow And Calf

Oil painting on hardboard 6in. x 8in. SOLD
Finished this small painting a month or so ago, entered it into an exhibition recently and it sold on opening night.  I enjoyed playing around with shapes and colours.
I have been too unwell lately to paint a lot so it was nice to finish something, at last.

Lioness And Cub

Oil painting on board 9in. x 12in.
Could not resist capturing in paint such a wonderful moment in nature.  You can really tell from her eyes that she means business when it comes to protecting her cub.
I decided to use softer pastel colours to portray the gentler aspect of this scene, such a powerful creature can carry that cub ever so carefully, amazing creation.
