This loveable little pony is from Wiltshire, where it shares a field with another Shetland pony and a flock of small white ducks.  Loveable they may be, but Shetland ponies are not to be trifled with.  One night a fox tried to carry off one of the ducks, but the two little ponies came to the rescue and chased the fox away - minus the duck!

The model for this workshop is a Border Collie called Rossi, which an artist friend photographed for a portrait.  Many thanks to Estelle Grant for the use of the photograph.

This Otter is a recent addition to my range of e-workshops. Many thanks to my friend Liz Conway for letting me use her original photograph

One of Exmoor Zoo's magnificent big cats, this proud cheetah is clearly indignant at having his busy schedule interrupted. 

Out of the wild - one of Combe Martin Wildlife Park's beautiful she-wolves.  Needlessly feared and persecuted, these awe-inspiring creatures have left such a small footprint in the wild.

This image shows one of the beautiful ponies from the Exmoor Pony Centre, Dulverton.

This is a portrait of Millie, favourite cow of a farmer friend from Somerset.

Our own cat Tiggy was born in a barn near our former home in Somerset.  I went to photograph the farmer's bull, and came back with two kittens.

From my article in the July edition of "Paint" magazine, our own Tiggy posing in the sun by the pool.  Life can be hard!

This is Tilly, a sweet natured Dartmoor Pony who lives in a paddock just down the lane.  She had to be bribed with a handful of grass to pose for this image. 

Tilly has proved to be a popular subject for my workshops, and is one of the best represented of the images in my Students' Gallery.

This is a portrait of Busby, faithful companion of my dear friend Sandy. 

This magnificent ram was part of a flock left to graze in woodland near our old home in Somerset

The fabled Beast of Exmoor - fact or fiction?  For many years there have been sightings of a mysterious black beast on Exmoor, widely thought to be a black panther, or melanistic leopard.  No-one has yet managed to photograph this elusive creature., so  I have tried to imagine the Beast as it materialises out of the moorland mist - only to vanish just as quickly, leaving you to wonder just what it was you saw........

On the prowl - one of Marwell Zoo's big cats.  Available soon. (Thumbnail shows detail).  Pre-printed image on velour available now.
