Happy Monday folks, I hope the new week treats you well! Here’s a ‘striking’ little work in progress - I’m so disappointed by the lack of cosy storms we’ve had this year, so I’m making my own! ⛈

A local landscape to accommodate one of my favourite summer visitors which shall be painted in this week! 10 points if you can guess what it is :)

Here’s a little snapshot of a work in progress of my next painting 🐺 this one is really rather personal to me and is a depiction of a real life experience that was rather out of this world! I hope you can stick around to see the final outcome ☺️

‘Moor or Less’ - Oil on 12 x 14” panel.

So happy to have finished this one, featuring the gorgeous Hen Harrier and what I perceive to be a symbolic ambassador against wildlife persecution in the UK.

If you’re anything like me and have a deep appreciation for the natural world and the creatures living within it that are dwindling at an alarming rate, then blasting innocent birds (namely red grouse in this case) out of the sky in huge quantities for so called ‘sport’ wouldn’t sit right with you either.

Over the past few years, I’ve delved a little deeper in to this industry and I agree that more un-biased, incorrupt scientific research will always be of benefit, but the destruction of valuable carbon stores, bio-diversity loss, the unjustified killing of thousands of animals - not just grouse, but any form of life that’s a threat to them and damage to communities just isn’t acceptable to me, in the name of ‘leisure and tradition’. Why I stand for organisations like @wildmoorsuk 👈 check them out for more info!

Compromises, rewilding and supportive schemes please that benefit both the people and more importantly, wildlife! 🦅

Work in progress shot, right in time for Hen Harri

Work in progress shot, right in time for Hen Harrier Day! @hhdayuk

I’m looking forward to tuning in to the live stream at 10am with @chrisgpackham2 & @meganmccubbinwild to hear about the issues in our uplands and what we can do about it - the fines that criminals get for illegally killing raptors are nothing but a slap on the wrist. It’s time these birds were taken seriously and it’s time for raptor persecution to end! 🦅❌
