Brakes On

This osprey is one of two chicks at Hervey Bay, Australia. The mother died from fishing line so dad had to raise two chicks on his own. The locals would bring some fish for dad in the morning to ease his workload. The reference photo was taken by John Bunstable, a local photographer.

I started drawing with pencil at school many years ago and later in life I traveled a lot so I would draw sitting in airports waiting for flights. Drawing was my hobby right up to 2017 and then I started to take drawing more seriously. In November 2017 I started painting with pastels and in October 2018 I turned professional and I'm now averaging one commission per week, mainly pets but I also paint wildlife and people portraits.
