Anyone fancy a few barn owls today?!! It seems I've drawn and painted a fair few of them over the years... and will no doubt create a few more soon!! Aren't they just the most wonderful birds! 🥰 🦉 ❤️

Just a supersweet, teeny-tiny little pigeon…! ❤️✨ Graphite pencil drawing on Fabriano Artistico HP, 3.5”x3”, 2020

This gorgeous bird was just asking to be painted - a barbary falcon! What a stunning bird of prey! It seems they’re a subspecies of peregrines, but a little smaller & definitely just as beautiful! 🥰 Hope you like it! ❤️ Big thanks to Patrick Donini for the reference photo 🙏🏼

Back when some sweet little tree sparrow feathers were being painted. What a cutie! 🥰 Tree sparrow (passer montanus), oils on board, 2021. Thanks to Rob van Mourick for the fabulous photo ref! 🙏🏼❤️

It’s hard not to be in awe of these amazing birds, isn’t it? The bald eagle! ❤️I’m so happy to have this painting now available as a fine art print. The prints quite honestly look gorgeous! If you fancy this face on your wall, visit the link in my profile to grab yourself one 😊

This patient raven has been waiting in the studio for a few months now, so it was definitely time to paint a few glorious feathers on him! 🖤✨ He still needs a few more layers of paint so I’m sure his sweet face will be gracing your feed again soon!! Raven, oils on 12x12” board.

A pair of starlings nest in our roof every year & they’ve been out gathering new nesting material, which means more baby starlings soon!! YAY! 🥳 So shall we celebrate the wonderful Eurasian starling with this teeny-tiny sketch from a few years ago? Gotta love these birds! ❤️

A gorgeous juvenile red-footed falcon, painted in gouache in the kraft card sketchbook. 🥰 This stunning little guy/gal was such a joy to paint! Incredible little birds! ❤️ Hope you like it! 😊

Aren’t kingfishers little gems?! ✨This lovely fella was painted in acrylics & was so much fun to create! Those colours! 🧡💙 Amazingly, the original painting is still available too. Link in my profile if you fancy him on your wall! Male kingfisher, acrylics on 30x24” canvas.

PIED FLYCATCHER - Watercol'r on block. One of my favourite birds and pleased to say I have a few breeding areas close to my house so great to see annually, birds back on the breeding grounds and paired up. This illustration will be published next year.

A little blast from the past to share with you today! Back in 2018 I painted this gorgeous caracal on Procreate using the iPad Pro - it was my first digital piece! I still remember how exciting it was to see what was possible to create on the iPad & it’s still super-fun now too!

New beginnings!! The base layers of a brand new painting are done! Whoohoo! 🥳 Can you tell which owl it is yet? 😁 Obvs lots more painting to be done yet so watch this space! Oils on canvas, 24x30”

Just in case you ever wondered, yes, an artist CAN miss a painting they created! This lovely hobby long ago found its forever home in the US, but I still find myself missing it. I mean… who wouldn’t miss that gorgeous face? 🥰 Hobby (falco subbuteo) acrylics on A1 board (2022)

What if peregrines hunted like foxes

Nothing cuter than a grumpy little owl face, is there?! 🦉❤️ I loved painting this feathery fella - so full of character. The original’s still available if you'd like him glaring from your wall 😄🎨 Link to the webshop in my profile! Athene noctua, acrylics on 20x30” canvas.

It’s never a bad day with a great grey owl staring back at you from the easel 🖤🦉 A throwback to 2022 when I was drawing this stunner in charcoal! Now available as a fine art print & greeting card - find both in my shop - link in profile! Great grey owl charcoal drawing, 28x19"

Latest progress on the easel! There’s definitely an eagle owl appearing there slowly, isn’t there?! What a great stare!! 👀🦉❤️ Lots more layers to go… Eurasian eagle owl (bubo bubo), oils on canvas, 24x30”‌

Great spotted woodpecker in gouache 🎨🐦 What a fun little painting this was in the kraft card sketchbook. The gouache paint really pops on the toned paper, doesn’t it! And what fab birds they are - it’s always a joy to spot them! Hope you like this little fella! 🥰‌
