Two Magpies at Chepstow Castle, Art Print

One for sorrow! Two for joy! Three for a girl and four for a boy. Magpies! A common sight here in the UK! I have been thinking drawing/painting magpies for a while and recently I visited the very beautiful Chepstow Castle and I was captivated by the view across the river. So I thought why not put the magpies and the castle together! Here is the result! Two magpies, two for joy, with the famous Chepstow Castle as backdrop!

Lioness from the Animal Wall, Cardiff Castle, Animal Art for Collector

I would slow down every time to look at the beautiful sculptures at the Animal Wall outside Cardiff Castle! Inspired by these sculptures, I painted the whole series, all 15 of them. This one is the Lioness. Majestic and calm! As if she's quietly observing something far from her. Or is she standing guard to protect her young ones?   

The sculptures of the Animal Wall were sculpted by two sculptors. One group was done by Thomas Nicholls in 1891 and the other group was done by Alexander Carrick in 1931. The Lioness belongs to the first group of sculptures.

UK Wild Life Art, Coot in Pond

I visited Tredegar House Park a few days ago and was delighted as always to see the many waterbirds swimming in the lake there. I took photos of some of them and I was particularly drawn to this coot! I thought it's black body and white head together with the bare branches would make a great Japanese style painting. I used Japanese sumi watercolour/ink to create this piece.
