About the artwork
Original one-off watercolour painting. I paint African wildlife, primarily in watercolours - bright, flowing and merging - whatever I need to capture that particular moment. I try to create pictures that make people joyful either by recalling a cherished holiday or the expression of a special friend, or simply because these fellow creatures still exist. Venerable Victor was a mature rhino who had been everywhere, seen everything and seemed to be waiting patiently for me to take the best photo possible. I painted him in dusky hues of violet, magenta, greens and gold, the skill is in the granulation of the paint capturing the texture of his hide. The painting is small and rich in texture with layers and layers of transparent dripping colour. Archival quality. The painting will be posted flat.Venerable Victor

Imagine my surprise when, at the tender age of 9, I won first prize for my painting of a rose. I didn’t really know about flowers. Or winning. But I knew I liked painting. I lived in Kenya before coming to England, aged 16 (no lions in the streets, I kept telling my school friends!) and followed a scientific career in the pharmaceutical industry. Always painting in the evenings, in my spare time - for family, for friends, for me. I paint mainly animals, especially African wildlife, in watercolours - bright, flowing and merging - whatever I need to capture that particular moment. I try to create pictures that make people joyful either by recalling a cherished holiday or the expression of a special friend, or simply because these fellow ... (see more)
