I agree with Paul.  These painting need to be seen in their original form, especialy the portraits. Photocopying doesn't always show paintings at their best.

I found another self portrait of his which I quite like. I have to admit I’m not keen on his landscapes, although they look better as small thumbnails for some reason. Is there a collection of his work anywhere in particular?

Shelly Perkins is a British contemporary digital collage artist inspired by the world of nature.  Her passion for wildlife, travel and conservation are constant factors in her work in which she aims to capture the beauty and fragility of the natural world.  In 2017 she was chosen as The  Scott Polar Research Institute’s Antarctic Artist in Residence. Her work combines a variety of techniques, working initially by hand with detailed drawings, painted textures, watercolour washes and found textiles which she then brings together digitally, sometimes comprising over 150 layers.  Her illustrations are then produced as limited edition Giclee prints. She has completed a range of commercial illustration projects for clients including the WWF, the RSPB, the National Trust and Leisure Painter Magazine. Titles of paintings in order of appearance below - Curlew’s Clutch Swimming with Giants Mallard’s Flight Clee Hill from High Vinnalls Wren with Magnolia (P.S.  It was Paul who came across this artist and asked if I’d like to introduce her work as he knew I’d really like it.)

A great find Jenny.  Another new artist to watch.  The linear element appeals to me.  I admire them all, in particular the whales and the mallard paintings.   150 layers, that's quite something.  The great benefit of digital is that you can easily move and change things on different layers.  It makes me miss doing digital art.

I don't really care how these were done I don't really understand digital art  anyhow.  I have messed around with Brushes years ago . But these are spectacular and incredibly special.....yay must go and  find more. Please may I make a suggestion ...picture me with hand in the air jigging from one foot to the other shouting please  sir ,please sir.  Is it possible to have the title of the paintings included  at the top or the bottom as we do on the gallery?  I keep looking for a title and quite miss them. Will sit quietly now sir.

I agree, titles would be great, in particular because I'm trying to figure out what mountain that is... (Whernside?)

Sylvia, I’ve added the titles at the bottom of the write-up, bit difficult to go back in now and add them to each image.  My reaction when I first saw her work was the same as yours!  I absolutely love it and found it hard to select just a few images to include here.

Found some thst I particularly like, it’s very difficult when her work is so good to single out just a few. Some I have names for others I regretfully was unable to find one. Castle Storm Valley of Kites Pine MartenGlade.

It looks like she put a huge amount of effort into these works. There are elements of them that I like (the attention to detail, the way in which she draws vegetation), and there are also elements that I am not too fond of (the blurry dust effect, the choice of colors). I don't know. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea. They remind me of those anime series that try to stand out through their unique artsy backgrounds.
