A Winter Art Exhibition: Animals Do the Funniest Things

My Christmas art exhibition runs from November 12th - December 4th at my gallery in Thixendale.

Join me for a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie whilst you browse my latest art work at this seasonal show.

Don't miss a special exhibit of my photographs and video clips of some of my funniest animal observations.

I spend most of my working life watching wild creatures in their natural habitat before picking up a paintbrush. I'll be sharing some of the most comical moments I've captured during this intensive process. 

Among them a penguin in Antarctica so overcome by beach rage it slaps a fur seal across the face.

It takes a lot of patience to get the shots I need for my paintings, but when the birds and animals I’m watching occasionally do something funny it always helps lighten my day.

They say you should never work with animals, but I wouldn't swap my job for the world. 

The exhibition includes walks into the countryside, a talk and slideshow on my amusing anecdotes and falconry events for children

The gallery is open weekdays, 9.30am-4.30pm, and weekends, 10.30am-4.30pm throughout the exhibition.
