Oil painting on wide edged linen canvas
I love creating these one-of-a-kind Small oil paintings on Linen Canvas.
A great opportunity to have an original work of art with a small original. Looks super on its own or mixed with others from the collection.
I love working in layers, often beginning in watercolour (yes watercolour) on canvas as this is how I work in y sketchbook. Then the the time is right I carry on in oils. Watercolour isn’t soluble in oil and so the underpainting does not get muddy when the oil paint is applied over it. Its a wonderful way to work with spontaneity and careful detail all blended together. My unique approach to animal painting, marked by a playful and whimsical touch, adds depth and character to the piece.
A great way to start your collection, or to treat yourself to something special, even if you’ve run out of wall space.
The original painting comes unframed with D rings and hanging cord attached ready to hang. Postage and packing to the UK is included in the price. Please select Free shipping at the checkout.
Abedi the elephant.
Original painting. Oil on linen 90×90cm
This painting came from a real moment on safari. One morning on our early game drive we saw a family of elephants happily munching on teh shrubs having their breakfast. A large matriarch stood her ground, gently protecting her family from us. She didn’t charge, nor did she need to, she simply walked near adn then stood, safe in the knowledge that all was well. What a moment. What a glorious thing to have witnessed.
Often my elephants contain bright colours mixed along with the naturalistic grey and soft browns. This is because the first time I saw an elephant in the wild it took my breath away. It made my heart melt and it made me go “wow” . And my colours are designed to make you go “wow” too. This elephant would have a presence in your home and yet is calm and gentle. It's a balance I try to create.
The elephant is painted in oil on linen but it is worth noting that the background in this particular painting is not the natural linen showing through but instead it's a gentle warm pale grey background. This gives the bright colours space to breathe and would look superb in a neutral room allowing one of the colours used to be an accent colour elsewhere in the room with for instance cushions or other soft furnishings.
You might like to know that the name Abedi is a Swahili name. People with the name Abedi have a deep inner desire for a stable, loving family or community, and a need to work with others and to be appreciated. It felt like the perfect names for this loving elephant who watched over her family while they ate their breakfast.

Betsy is a beautiful statement highland cow.
She is 70cm x 70cm. Oil on linen.
The beautiful colourful cow has been created using excellent quality oil paints, in a series of layers to great depth and keep a vibrancy of colour. She's is bold and yet friendly and could be a wonderful addition to your home. Most of my highlands are based on my own reference photos from The new forest, or the Peak district and they each have their own distinct unique character.
Betsy’s lovely colours are beautifully balance by the natural linen canvas showing through creating a sophisticated background.
Betsy will make you smile every time you look at her.
Betsy has been made into a print by my publishers available from my usual stockists, however if you want the one and only original oil painting, its available here on my website.

I love painting stags. Most of my stags are inspired by trips to the New forest - or from Longleat Safari Park where it's significantly easier to get reference photos! I’m even lucky enough to have some deer that can occasionally be seen at the bottom of our garden though they tend to be much smaller. This stag has been painted using layers of oil on a linen canvas. Flashes of green and coral sit alongside the more naturalistic browns and greys of the stag.
This stag is on a 70cm x 70 cm handmade linen canvas.
Unframed with D-rings and cord, ready to hang.
Oil paintings aren’t framed under glass, so adding a frame later is easy and inexpensive.
This is the original painting of Cooper.
You might have seen my print of Bumbles the cockapoo, based on my own dear cockapoo who is a blue merle colour. I've been inundated with requests to create a blonde doodle in a similar style to Bumbles but a more neutral palette.
This is a 50×50cm intricate oil painting on a wide edged linen canvas.
The beauty of an enegery of a mixed media painting, matching that joy and energy every dog owner understands from their loveable, bouncy, crazy little friend!
This painting is on the short list with my piblishers to be made into a print, however this is the one and only original, ready for his forever home, at a fraction of the cost of a bespoke commission.

Kasi
Oil on linen, 70 × 70 cm
Unframed, ready to hang

Amani is a well known and monitored female cheetah. She is a phenomenal Mum, and has raised several large litters successfully.
We were lucky enough to see cheetah every day. Cheetah have the characteristic black lines from their eyes to their cheeks, sometimes nicknamed their “sunglasses” as the black fur helps reduce the glare of the African sun. Cheetah, unlike lions and leopard, can only hunt in the day so they have to be able to cope with the strong African sunshine.
Layer upon layer of oil paint builds the cheetah, with beautiful vibrant colours against more naturalistic ones,
At 70 × 70 cm, Amani carries the presence and vibrancy of my larger Africa works, but is more suited to this size. This piece is a true one-off, not available as a print, for a collector seeking something unique.
Unframed — comes with D-rings and hanging cord attached, ready to hang.
