BBC Wildlife artist of the year 2012

I have been fortunate to have been selected again this year for the finals of the BBC Wildlife artists of the year in the category ‘Animals in their environment which I was fortunate to have won in 2011.

I have tried to create that feeling of looking skyward for Great Spotted woodpeckers using perspective and sunlight to lead the viewers eye towards the female woodpecker on the branch above. This painting has been 2 years in the planning and it reflects a lifetime of looking up trees trying to see birds in the up most branches.
