The Salmon Pool near Chagford

The Salmon pool was looking really lovely this morning, I think it is a bit early to see the salmon but I shall be looking out for them when we have some heavy rain.

Heather Time on Dartmoor

Dartmoor is looking at its best right now with all the gorse and heather in flower, it is especially good around Haytor where I took this picture while out on a walk.

Sunshine on Chagford

It is a beautiful morning here in Chagford although above the village huge clouds are looming over the moors. I took this from below Castle Drogo and it shows Chagford quite clearly, it will not look like this for much longer as the light green fields below the church are being developed and soon a new housing etate will be there!

Common Blue Butterflies

This is my latest watercolour, recently I was several beautiful bright blue Common Blue butterflies basking in the earky morning sunshine on the only bit of the wildflower meadow that had been left uncut, they lookes so beautiful I had to dash to my studio and do a painting of them. Just think how many more there might be if that meadow had been left a little longer!

Thandi & Thembi

This is my new painting of Thandi and Thembi, it is titled "Protection". Thandi is the amazing Rhino that survived having her horn hacked off by poachers, so it is wonderful that she now has a calf. The sale of this painting will be donated to the charity www.helpingrhinos.org who are trying to protect these wonderful animals.

Michael Storey Sculptures

I am proud to be one of only three galleries in the UK that is showing the beautiful bronzes of the famous sculptor Michael Storey. Each of his bronzes in unique and they all have a beautiful patina and colour. To see the collection I have do look at my website www.devonsnatureinart.com they are in the "Other Work in the Gallery" section in the Portfolio of Works.
