The Lions

Thinking about it...

... a bit of affectionate foreplay ...

.... getting down to the serious stuff ....

... and the happy outcome.

The Hippo, Zebras and Wild Dogs

I'm currently attending life classes at a local art centre (The Queen's Park Centre in Aylesbury), so my next project may be the human form.  But for the moment, I continue with my selection from wild life.  The hippo below is one of four I have just entered into the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art.

One calmly browsing hippo...

...a pair of wary Zebras...

.....and a pack of wild dogs.

Into the Air

The hungry eagle.....

.... and an elegant Saddlebill Stork.

The Tiger and The Koala Bear

2002 - We spent our first year cruising in the Mediterranean.  This photo was taken in the one the beautiful scenic calanques on the south coast of France.

The Tiger is one of my earlier non-African animal paintings.

.....as is The Koala Bear which now graces Karen's bedroom wall.

First Post - 'Forever'

Peggy and I spent seven years sailing around the world in our 35 foot Hallberg Rassy, 'Forever' - an adventure we can't recommend highly enough to everyone.   Peggy's blog of our voyage round the world.
This photo was taken in the Atlantic, our first ocean, on the way to Madeira.




This is my vision of 'Forever' at sea.  Like all my paintings, it is oil on canvas.
