Here’s my latest painting, a tiger taking a cool dip in a forest pool. I’ve painted this one as a donation for the Environmental Investigation Agency, a charity who, among other things, campaign for species in peril around the world.  See more about their tiger campaign.

This painting will go up for auction on the evening of Tuesday the 2nd of October at the Mall Galleries in aid of the EIA.  Here’s a close up of the painting.

With many thanks to Mike Vickers who kindly allowed me to use his wonderful photography as reference material for the painting.

If it takes your fancy contact the EIA and put in a bid!

Three Siamese brothers working hard for a living, testing cushions for their suitability for feline use!

Kimi and Cherry are two gorgeous Siamese. I’ve just finished their painting for their owners Lynne and Barry.

To my total amazement I won the Llewellyn Alexander gallery prize for ‘Lick Me!’. I’m still recovering from the shock but we’re planning a night out this weekend to celebrate.

Thank you to the gallery for choosing ‘Lick me!’ and thank you to my model Chi for posing for the picture. He ate a LOT of cream that day and managed not to be sick.

The Society Of Feline Artists show is on at the Llewellyn Alexander gallery in Waterloo. Here’s a photo of Sunbathing hanging in the window. I have lots of photos of the show up on my Flickr account. Do have a look and try the slideshow option, it looks pretty good.
