'For the love of animals' - I aim to capture the essence of the animal 's spirit: a beloved pet's expression, a predator's power, the freedom of a bird's flight

Wild Spirit Image: Such a gorgeous thick pelt on this wolf. I was so happy with the depth and variety of colours and the light that shone through in my painting.

LARGE piece - full size printmakers paper 22 x 30 inches. Background with soft pastels and alcohol wash. Completed in soft pastels, building up layers, softening, adding details until the piece 'howled' at me that it was done. I absolutely loved working so big with such a beautiful subject and process was great fun. I was so happy with the outcome, that I was actually gutted that this one was gifted as I would have liked to have kept it!!!
