A friend Penny Johnson, a brilliant cook, fattens pigs every year and then I am afraid they are then enjoyed by others as roast pork and sausages. These had just arrived when I went to draw them and were running about in their little paddock. They had a happy life, albeit a short one. A limited edition print run of 25 has been made of this image, which will be signed and numbered by me.
Richard's Gloucester Old Spot Sow
Watercolour and touches of white chalk
Approximately 36cm x 54cm
£750
At the framers
We stayed with friends in Shropshire for my God daughter's wedding last September, and on the Sunday morning had a tour of his estate, including going to feed his pigs. This sow had some quite grown up piglets and they all enjoyed the apples we gave them. The boar was a really ugly brute, and not very kind to the young ones either.
Dave and the Lily
Watercolour
approximately 53cm x 36cm
mounted in museum board and in a painted Farrow and Ball frame (Down Pipe and Green Smoke) with some gilding
£750
Dave, the Saudi Cat, has been living with us for the last three years and I am beginning to wonder if he is a fixed item. He really belongs to our son, but he is happy snuggled up to the Aga and as long as he is warm and gets his three pouches a day, he is quite content. Although he was just a stray in Riyadh he is very handsome and has a noble bearing. He is indeed a very lucky cat.
Pink and White Hippeastrums
Watercolour with touches of gouache and pencil
Approximately 36cm x 46cm
Framed in a lime washed oak frame
£550
Just after Christmas in 2011, I noticed that Waitrose were selling these Hippeastrums at half price. I bought two and this beautiful pink and white striped flowerhead emerged. I have managed to keep it going and it is in flower again as I write.
