This is my first gallery of pictures for sale.
I have quoted exact dimensions with each but they all come with a pre-cut fold mount matte. They are priced individually.
There is some line drawing using a document quality permanent ink and the colour is from premium ranges using fade resistant pigments and some natural minerals. They are on Arches cotton 600 gsm cotton paper.
I will be exploring other subjects but I thought these characterful illustrations would be an appropriate start. I like to use quite strong colours and some of the mineral based paints have quite strong texture and sheen to them which doesn't really show in the photographs.
I hope you will enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed reviving my painting activities after a "short" break of some 40 years.

Peregrine is a new larger sized classic Teddy Bear
Available from 18:00 UK time, 31st January 2025 SOLD
A new pattern for the first bear of 2025. I wanted to revise the proportions and create a very traditional looking bear, and in order to give him the feel and presence of a larger old ted decided that I would increase the size to 22 inches.
Seated 14.5 inches ( 37 cms)
Standing 22 inches ( 55 pms)
Weight 40 ons ( 1.15kg)
Peregrine is made from a pale corn colour mohair. The finish is soft, quite dense, and very lightly distressed.
Eyes are vintage boot buttons, paws made from cotton lined wool felt.
Peregrine has traditional black embroidered nose and claw detail, the nose thread is very slightly distressed to compliment the overall appearance.
A feature of these bears which is very important to me is the weight and feel; he is stuffed with excelsior wood wool, firm in some places but also with looser areas softened with natural wool fibre, a little loose filled around joint areas so that he has some give and that distinctive "crunchy" feel of an old bear who's stuffing has settled a little over the years.
He has a traditional tilt growl voice mechanism.
His waistcoat is English wool herringbone, with a little design feature of a fish tail back, buttons are natural shell and the scarf, tied as a loose Ascot, is cotton print.
Peregrine's purchase price is UK £585.00. Plus Shipping at Cost SOLD
UK Special Delivery £20
International shipping via insured and tracked service will be estimated based on information available and added to the invoice.
