Animal Art By Carrie

I've just got back from Ellesmere and I'm pleased to say these two paintings have been sold. I hope the new owners will enjoy having them on their wall, I have a bit more room on mine I can fill now.

It’s opening night of Ellesmere College Art exhibition, here’s hoping 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Tonight is the opening night of the Ellesmere art exhibition, I hope you will get chance to visit it.

The ellesmere exhibition is fast approaching and the pictures are all framed and ready to be dropped off on Friday. I had great success with this one last time so I’m hoping for the same this year 🤞. Here are the four paintings I will be taking

The latest commission, done for a very good friend of mine who sadly lost her beautiful little man last year. Oil on canvas #supportartists #painting #painting #oilpainting #dog #dogpainting #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel

WIP. A new one on the easel, I took the reference photo after a fabulous day at Shropshire falconry #supportartists #wildlifeartist #painting #animalart #oilpainting #owl #littleowl #shropshirefalconry #shropshire

I’ve just been up to Cheshire to collect my two paintings which sadly didn’t sell at the exhibition. The exhibition doesn’t appear to have been very successful so I probably won’t do it again next year. These two will be going on my website at some point over the next couple of days, if you are interested in purchasing them before the go on my website please DM me. Both are framed and currently fitted with mirror plate hangings but I can get these changed, £295 each. The shark is more of a turquoise blue but my phone has changed the colour
Thanks.

It’s a bit miserable out there today so why not take a trip to Frodsham to view all the wonderful art at the AAA spring exhibition. It’s in a wonderful location and has a small cafe for a nice cup of tea. It’s also only a few miles away from Cheshire oaks so you can get some shopping done too! https://associationofanimalartists.com/as sociation-of-anim…/

I need to make some space so I have decided to sell off some originals. A small description and the price is on each photo. If you would like to know the sizes or are interested in one please inbox me.

Waxwing in colour pencil. This picture has been a challenge to complete and even to get a photo of it! Sorry about the glass reflection (the paper is trying to curl so I had to stick it a frame to try and flatten it) and the blue is more turquoise in real life but my phone had changed it to sky blue. Photo courtesy of wildlife reference photos and photographer Andy Wilson.

WIP. The first layer is down, now to start defining the detail and adding the contrast

Next project 😄

I have just dropped off two of my paintings and there are lots more fabulous paintings by other artists being brought in. This exhibition is on for a month and well worth a visit.

I think I’m putting the pencils down on this one. Tiger in inktense pastels and the background in soft pastels. Photo reference courtesy of wildlife reference photos and the photographer Emmanuel Keller. Please let me know if you like it.

The last two back from the framers
