Wildlife in its environment award.
Delighted to find that my painting ‘Winter Light’ – Barn owl has won the ‘British Wildlife’ award at NEWA (National Exhibition of Wildlife Art). http://www.newa-uk.com
As ‘wildlife in its environment’ my main aim in most of my paintings, I am really pleased to get this award. This is the sort of work I really enjoy – the setting is near my home on one of those cold frosty mornings when the sun is still low.
The original is sold – but a limited edition is available (95 copies)
‘Ghost – Barn owl’ – has been selected for the prestigious ‘Birds in Art’ 2014 exhibition at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum Wasau Wisconsin USA. It was selected from 910 entries submitted by 564 artists. This is the 7th time one of my paintings has been selected for this exhibition.

WILDLIFE – AN ARTIST’S VIEW: THE MANX MUSEUM, DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN: OPENS SEPTEMBER 14TH.
2013 marks a milestone for me in that I have been a full-time professional artist for 25 years.
To mark this I am having a major exhibition at the Manx Museum in Douglas, opening on September 14 and remaining until January2014.
It will be part retrospective – with some very early paintings and some which have won awards – such as the BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year and those which have been exhibited in ‘Birds in Art’.
A book of my work is also being published to coincide with the exhibition
There will also be around 35 new works for sale, including the original paintings for a new stamp series on ‘Big Cats’ (in association with CITES: the International Convention on the Trade in Endangered Species)
