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! There are times when I wish I still had this painting.

On Reflection SOLD
One of the many relaxing scenes from my visit to Botswana a few years ago.

Lion! SOLD
A picture of fear and chaos from near Chudop waterhole in Etosha. This herd were constantly being spooked by the close proximity of two lions that we were also watching to see what would happen. What the zebras didn't know was that the lions had a...

Battle of Wits SOLD
Cheetah will prey on anything from small antelope to wildebeest if they are brave enough. Their main prey is the tompsons gazelle. This painting depicts an impala doing its best to stay alive for another day!

Safety in Numbers SOLD
This is the first painting to come from my trip to the Masai Mara in 2007. I came across this delightful scene on my way back from viewing a leopard with two cubs.

Quiet Contemplation
I have to admit this is not a wild snow leopard as he is one of the residents of Marwell! I have given it more impact through the careful use of light.

The Ringtail of Marwell.
A resident of Marwell, the ringtails are very playful and inquisitive. I love them!

NEW TIGER CUB - SOLD
The finished painting which was demonstrated at Marwell. The original is reserved but will be available as a print in late September 09.

Cheetah and cub SOLD
Cheetah seen during my 2007 visit to the Masai Mara in Kenya.

Cheetah cub - RESERVED
One of three cubs from the Masai Mara seen on my 2007 visit. A distant relative of one of the cheetahs from the BBC Big Cat Diary series.

The Elephants of Etosha - SOLD
A scene from one of my visits to Namibia. They were all walking down to a waterhole, and they always seem to play follow the leader. Always in a neat line that makes a great picture.

The Power and the Glory
NOT FOR SALE The only painting I still have from my very first public show at Marwell Zoo back in 1990.

Mischief. Baby Orangutan SOLD
Baby orangutan, just in case you didn't recognise him! This little bundle of fun is actually a captive animal although I have seen many primates on numerous travels abroad.

The Dust of Etosha SOLD

Cool Dudes SOLD
I discovered these two beauties while driving along a dirt road in Etosha, Namibia.

Cheetah in the Sun SOLD
One of the cheetahs I came across at Africat in Namibia

Tiger sketch SOLD
Make the most of it. In a few years from now there wont be any wild tigers left. Their fate is vitually sealed.

Cat Nap SOLD
Bengal Tiger

Dusty Buffalo
I love dust! And dust with warm light coming through is particularly appealing.
