Tony Forrest - Wildlife Art


	I don't only paint wildlife! I am currently getting much inspiration from the landscapes around my home in Cornwall and am finding the Cornish coast very atmospheric and exciting. Painting these scenes has fired a whole new area of interest for me. They are done in a contemorary style and make a refreshing change from my more detailed wildlife work. I also love portraits and will at some time paint some of the many interesting characters I met in India. They wear such amazing colours. Perfect specimens!

St.Ives harbour
One of my current paintings of Cornwall. I am mainly attracted to the lovely light that reflects off the water.

St.Ives Bay, Cornwall
The amazing light at these Cornish fishing harbours is a magnet for people like me.

St.Ives Bay, Cornwall
This painting of St.Ives has been done using a palette knife technique. This has produced a modern painterly effect. Available from the new Harbour Gallery, Portscatho

Porthleven 3
I was attracted to the weird light in this scene. With the light across the harbour in the background and the boats in shadow. Interesting!

Victoria Falls SOLD
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!

Masai portrait
I don't paint many portraits but this is one of my favourite. The colourful Masai of Kenya.

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...
