Moonlit tawny owl

The tawny owl is Britain's most common owl, yet rarely seen — a creature of the night, perfectly camouflaged and utterly still by day. In this pastel painting, a tawny owl perches in the hush of a moonlit woodland, his warm mottled plumage glowing softly against a cool, atmospheric sky. Ghostly bare branches drift behind him, capturing that quiet magic of a British winter night.

At the heart of nature

I am entirely self-taught. Whenever possible I draw from my own photographs. My aim is to create expressive art works that convey the beauty and emotion of nature in all its diversity.
