This is a Hedgehog fly apparently (Tachina Fera). Not particularly pretty but I’ve never seen one before, even though they are very common. #insects #photography #naturephotography #wildlife #macro

I actually enjoyed this one! It’s one of the rare occasions that it all went reasonably smoothly 🙄 Acrylic on canvas board. #art #acrylicpainting #birdart #sparrow #wildlifeart #painting #artwork #artpractice

Animals are my favourite subject to paint. This was a beautiful Labrador I saw going out on a boat trip. #dogs #art #traditionalart #animalart #canvasart #painting #labrador #dogart

This was a small practice painting of mine I recently rediscovered in a cupboard. It’s on a piece of canvas cut from a roll (good texture) and was done with acrylic paint. #art #figurativeart #traditionalart #landscapeart #acrylicpaint #artoncanvas #summerart #paint #painting

This was a colour pencil drawing that I did a while back. Still learning this medium and find that it takes a lot longer than you might think with lots of layers and blending involved. #traditionalart #art #polychromos #cow #colorpencil #colourpencil #drawing

Here is my study of a grey squirrel in acrylics - hope to paint a final version shortly. I find it hard to settle on a how far to go regarding fur detail 🤷‍♀️ #wildlife #art
