Polar bear
These incredible animals are the largest carnivores to be found on land. They can weigh up to 800 kg. Despite the yellow-white appearance of their fur, their skin is black and their translucent hairs merely reflects the visible light. Their populations are expected to decrease by thirty percent by 2050, with climate change the biggest […]
Pug, watercolour illustration
Pugs are lovely little characters. They require all your attention and will follow you everywhere. You can find the original paintings in my online shop, along with other pug paintings and drawings, which make a great gift for a dog owner. I couldn’t resist painting a front and back view.
Sighthound, ink sketch
I love the graceful flowing lines of these dogs. I drew this in ink to try to capture this. The original dog sketch is available through my shop for a greyhound lover. Other dog paintings are for sale on my shop page.
Wirehaired Dachshund
I have a soft spot for dachshunds. If you are interested in the original piece, it is available through my shop along with paintings and drawings of other breeds. These make unusual gifts for dog owners.

Grizzly Bear (Brown Bear)
Brown bears can be found in Europe, Asia and North Western North America. In America, they are known as “grizzlies,” or “grizzly bear.” They are omnivores, feeding on plants, shoots, berries, fish and small animals (and honey!). They store their food in shallow holes and hibernate in the winter. Hibernation can last from around October […]

Turbot, Food Illustration
Watercolour illustrations of food and drink.
Black Labrador Begging, watercolour illustration
Black Labradors might just be the hardest thing to paint in watercolours! Of course, black can look purple and blue, so there are lots of subtle and beautiful colour variations to find within their lovely glossy coats. I produced this painting for a range of dog mugs for Hudson and Middleton china. The original painting […]
Thoroughbred horse bucking, watercolour illustration
Well, I own one of these lunatics, who is nearly thirty years old and still capable of this! I just love Throroughbreds. They have so much personality and attitude, yet can be very giving and affectionate. This was painted for a range of mugs for Hudson and Middleton china.

Gloucester Old Spot Pig, Watercolour Illustration
Pigs make a lovely subject for a painting. I sold the original painting long ago but have prints of this particular pig and others in my shop. The Gloucester Old Spot is a rare breed, a pedigree pig. As its name suggests, it was popular in parts of Gloucester, where it was known as the […]
Sleeping Pig
I saw this lazy pig at a local birds of prey centre. I have sold many prints of this image, I think it’s because he looks so care free and contented and we would all like to be like that. https://www.katherinetyrer.co.uk/product/pig-fine-art-print-2/
Limousin Cow
Oxted and Edenbridge Show has provided me with many opportunities to draw cattle. Here are ten important things to know about the breed from That’sFarming. https://www.thatsfarming.com/news/limousin-cattle I painted this on some beautiful Whatman watercolour paper I managed to get my hands on (it was sadly discontinued). I have long since sold the picture and run […]
