Wildlife Textures Series of 12 A3 Prints

I would like to introduce you to my series of prints called 'Wildlife Textures'. These paintings have been created by very close examination of the animal's skin or fur; looked at, as it were, from the flea's point of view! I have always found it fascinating how so many species of animals have such distinct and disparate colours, textures and feel. In this series I have attempted to paint the skin and fur patterns in a purely artistic way to define each animal's unique characteristic. Finally, an interesting game that can be played when the prints are hung is to ask your friends what animal they belong to since only you will know each painting's title!
