‘Woodland Red’
Watercolour painting of Red Squirrel on 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour.
Size of painted area: 31×23cm (12×9”)
‘Woodland Red’ is my most delicate red squirrel painting to date. Whilst painting it, I had the lovely experience of the paint doing the work for me. I found myself flowing with the organic shapes that watercolour naturally forms on the paper, and I gently picked out the details of the squirrel from here.
When we first moved to the centre of the Lake District in 2000, Red Squirrels were common and would regularly visit our garden. It was a delight to be around them. Now, they are more scarce, and it is all the more precious when we do catch a glimpse of them nestled in the branches, finding plenty of food in the local woodlands.
Available framed in white solid wood St Ives frame.
’Two Badgers In A Wood’
Watercolour painting of Badgers on 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour.
Size of painted area: 61×51xm (18×14”)
I have been getting inspired by the many wonderful photos on the internet this spring of badgers emerging from woods, and felt compelled to paint these beautiful creatures again.
Many years ago, my husband and I lived in a quiet lake district valley where we could regularly watch the local badgers. It’s not something to undertake lightly - it involves the ability to spend long periods of time without moving, often having nothing to show for it. But when we did see something it was so rewarding, and I have many fond memories of watching them rolling, scratching and playing in front of us.
With thanks to Marc Freebrey for the beautiful photo that inspired this painting.
