When painting each animal, attention to detail is what is important to me - how the bend of the body distorts the spots, how the stripes change direction slightly creating the form, how the fur clumps together or separates out because of the position of a limb, the weight of a fold of skin, even just the changes in fur type across an animal’s body. For me this is what breathes life in to the animal.
 
In contradiction to this my backgrounds are not an accurate depiction of reality; but rather they give me the opportunity to work in a more expressive style, applying the oil paint with a brush or knife, producing a world for the animal to exist in for that moment, and allowing the viewer to lose themselves in the work.
