A tree, a moody sky and some delicious light = bliss

Hi folks, I just wanted to say hi 👋🏻 & to let you guys know there will be new art coming soon…. just a couple more hurdles to jump & it’s all go! .Looking forward to creating some new pieces & exploring old & new styles too. Have an amazing weekend wherever you are 🤗 #elephant

An enjoyable evening giving a presentation to Horsley Art Society last night on my work and travels as an artist. I was ecstatic to see no one had nodded off 😅😆

A beautiful Mute Swan one of my all time favourite birds. Seeing these huge birds fly is literally breathtaking….

Sadly the mist and fog beat me for the blood moon this morning, however I have managed to capture these shots from a few years ago. A stunning sight

Three trees and a puddle make for a beautiful serene view

Thank you 🙏🏻.

What absolutely AMAZING animals elephants are…. a total joy to draw.

I’m remembering this moment today when painting this life-sized portrait of ‘Tara’ the elephant for the late great Mark Shand in my living room on a step ladder! Special times…. #elephant #oilpainting #art

I maybe a bit late in the day posting this, but actually in reality everyday should be a #WorldWildlifeDay .Protect our precious wildlife today, tomorrow, forever……

Good morning 🌅

A couple of photos I took at the beautiful @AnimalsAsia Tam Dao sanctuary of a Sun bear and Moon bears paws….

This is ‘Goosey’ a wonderful old goose at my local lake that I used to visit each morning for a cuddle! Standing on the bank calling ‘Goosey’ he’d appear, honk back to me, often fly over flap out of the water and come in for a hug! Oh and of course a handful of grain 🤗

One of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken was this brave penguin in Antarctica taking a leap of faith as his fellow penguins watched in disbelief that he went for it! Thankfully all ended well for the brave intrepid chap! .#antarctica #penguin @reallorraine

Love this Kudu’s almost symmetrical horns. Just stunning 🤩

Another photo from my South African travels. I’ve always loved the side profile of big cats and this big guy is no exception. #lion #blackandwhite #photography

Another photo I took of Africa’s gentle giant, just 415,000 of these awesome animals left in the wild down from 10 million just 100 years ago!! Man has an awful lot to answer for…. #elephant #photography #wildlife

The ‘King’ - a photo I took in South Africa last year. What a magnificent animal the lion is just magnificent. #lion #bigcat
