Painted on the Easel

Original wildlife and animal artwork, created in layers using oils or acrylics and traditional techniques.

These pieces take time.

These original animal paintings take time. Built in layers, they are created at the table or easel where patience matters. Each one develops slowly — detailed, deliberate, and often larger in scale.

Working in oils and acrylics allows me to build depth, detail and personality into each painting, capturing the character of the animal.

This is work that invites you to pause, to look a little longer, and to connect with the character of the animal.

How These Pieces Are Made

Created using oils or acrylics, these pieces are built in layers over time. Each one develops gradually, allowing for depth, detail, and a strong sense of character.

This is slower, studio-based work, where each stage adds to the finished piece.

Meet the New Members of my Collection

This summer, I was challenged by local farmers to paint more sheep - different breeds. I'm so happy that Betty & Flo, Kerry, Hettie and Alice have all received the farmers' seal of approval. That means a great deal to me as an artist!

Each painting begins with the character of the animal itself, bringing together expressive faces, individual markings and a little of the British countryside. Original paintings and selected prints are available for anyone who loves sheep, farming, rural life or simply a characterful piece of animal art.
