'Ray of Hope?' 5.5" x 16"

 

My latest small pencil drawing of a Black Rhino and her calf which ive entitled Ray of Hope?.
The plight of Rhino's in our world today sickens me to the very core and with this drawing I hope to touch the heart of the viewer and encourage awareness of the very real possibility of the extinction of the species.

Snipe study 10" x 12" oil on canvas progression shots

After a visit last week to Titchfield Haven NNR where I was lucky enough to see plenty of Snipe at close quarters I decided to paint a small study with a view to a larger piece to follow in oils if I could get a grip on the colours and cryptic plumage.This is the completed study,which I'm very pleased with and hopefully a larger snipe painting will follow in the not too distant future.
