Tony Forrest - Wildlife Art


	OTHER SUBJECTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS I don't only paint wildlife! During my artistic career I have been inspired by many things and places I have visited. New York City being a big influence on me. I have also done two commissions for the Army Air Corps, both in Germany and Bosnia shortly after the Balcans conflict. 2008 update: I am currently getting much inspiration from the landscapes around my home in Cornwall and am finding the Cornish coast very atmospheric and exciting. I also have returned from a trip to the Yorkshire Dales where my head started to spin with all sorts of new ideas. I will be posting these on this website as soon as the become available.

Victoria Falls
One of the most visually inspiring places I have ever visited. I love dramatic light and atmoshere and here we see it in abundance. I put the birds in to give a sense of scale - look closely!

Newquay Towan beach, Cornwall
One of a recent pair of seascapes showing Newquay beach. These landscapes and seascapes are done with a different technique to my wildlife work. I enjoy trying to give a sense of freedom with fresh, expressive brushwork.

Ground Zero, New York
On my second visit to New York I visited the site of the former World Trade Centre. A very moving experience. This is one of four paintings I did after returning home. Done purely from genuine inspiration of the time. I have d...

Another view of the Lynx. Painted from life.
Lynx operated by the Army Air Corps in Germany and Bosnia. I spent a week with the AAC in Germany and Bosnia during the 1990s to research two commissions from them. Very exciting and a total change from painting the wildlife of af...

Horse commission
I painted this for someone who is mad about horses and has lots of them! I hardly ever paint horses so I was very pleased with the result.

Trafalgar Square SOLD
I started to paint cityscapes on my return from my first trip to New York. There is such a buzz to great cities with lots of scope for atmosphere. I did a series of London and one day will do Venice as this too lends itself to p...

At Tusk Charity Dinner
This was after I raised £10,800 with this painting together with one of a young gorilla. I am seen here with Tusk Director Charlie Mayhew and patron Rory Bremner.

Rockerfeller Centre, New York SOLD
This is the first painting I did of this great city on my return home from a one week visit. I went there on business and had no intention of becoming a painter of cityscapes, but there is such a wealth of subjects and atmoshpere...

Artists in Times Square, New York SOLD
Another of the New York series of impressionist paintings. I was fasinated by all the activity here, with many artists drawing peoples' portraits. A similar thing happens in the summer in London at Trafalgar Square.
