News — Wildlife

Whilst delving in to a stack of old studies and illustrations, I found an amusing image of a Toad watercolour study, having put it online it sold instantly (I should see what else I have hidden away!).

I was contacted by a wonderful gentleman from Jakarta, who on a work trip to London requested a visit my studio and see my original insect watercolour paintings.  He had a difficult time choosing a favourite, but settled on purchasing my recently finished Dragonfly illustration.

I created this wildlife watercolour for Explorers Against Extinction 'Sketch for Survival'. This image depicts two Addax (white or screwhorn antelope) a critically endangered species of the African Sahara desert. This piece will be heading to London for display in a travelling gallery exhibition then on to an auction. I can happily say it sold and raised some much needed money for the cause. 

It's that time of year again, when I beaver away on a batch of fish studies for the South Pacific.  This is the first group I painted and all went very smoothly.

Last night I had a fun conversation with the lovely guys in New Caledonia who I regularly draw for and found out that my illustration work will be part of an app, for anyone wishing to identify South Pacific lagoon fish, it is called Marée NC and will be available in the AppStore and Googlestore.  It will be so exciting to see my work in such a digitally advanced format!
