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.

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.

Misty Morning

Mists rising in the Teign Valley on my morning walk below Castle Drogo.

FINGLE BRIDGE

Fingle Bridge is looking lovely at the moment and we enjoyed a drink overlooking the Teign yesterday evening, I am surprised there were so few people there!

The Blind Cat

I have just been painting a little watercolour of our neighbours cat Charlie who spends nearly all of his time with us. He is nearly 20 and quite blind so I wrote a little poem which I have painted around the picture. This reads...The blind cat wanders
            Searching for his sight
            If he just goes a little further
            Then will he find the light?
            I am sure he wonders why
            After days that were so bright
            Why all he ever sees now
            Is never ending night!

On Meldon Hill

There were several ponies with newborn foals today enjoying the sunshine on Meldon Hill with Chagford down below in the distance.

Spring

Suddenly the new leaves of spring are opening and everything is looking beautiful in the sunshine, this is a view along the Hunters Path below Castle Drogo near Chagford.
