Awww...!

This photo was taken by my father-in-law on a volunteer trip to Botswana. I was quite jealous. I was envious of all the animals he would see and be able to photograph. As soon as I saw this photo, I knew I had to paint it. This is the second time I've painted it, the first was in acrylics and was quite stylised. The painting was sold for a fundraiser auction. One day I'll get to Africa and take my own pictures!
This piece is sold unframed, hence the different frames on the room pictures. Just a sample of what it could look like on your wall.

Hi there. My name is Emily.

I love nature! It is the basis of my education, the centre of my volunteer work and now the inspiration of my art.

Living in the Perth Hills, I am constantly provided with photo opportunities of the wildlife that visit us. For the last four years, I have been learning my craft, trying different media and styles. My favourites are coloured pencil, pastels and watercolour in a fairly detailed style.

Prompted by a friend I entered the Kelmscott and Gosnells Art Shows where my pieces have won 'Best in Show' and their individual classes. Encouraged by these achievements I hope this is a start of an exciting art career.
