The tiger, just above, looks as if he's reacting to a very improper suggestion .... more probably, he's just spotted this evening's dinner wandering by. These are all superb paintings  - extraordinary level of  detail in many of them, which is probably necessary with animal and bird studies (and one reason why I rarely do them!  You've a much better chance of getting away with an approximation when you're painting trees....).

Some marvelous work on show.  I'd like to pay tribute to some of POLs wildlife artists.  Here's a few I really admired. Alexandra Livizzari. Olga D. Nathan Jelbert's great narrative image...looks pretty wild to me. A drawing by our Paul.  I've always admired this. A favourite of mine from one of Heather's beautiful paintings.  Not wild?  Try explaining that to a cat. Lastly, a rare en plain aire drawing I made years ago in Cheam High Street...a Trunk-nosed-Lewdipus. Even that Attenborough bloke hasn't seen one of those.

Great choice of paintings Jenny and Lew . That was the first elephant I ever painted Lew and still one of my personal favourites have it framed in my studio.

Robert's observation about the tiger made me chuckle. Another great thread Paul, all highly skilled artists which I guess you have to be in this genre, an elephant has to look like an elephant after all!

All brilliant, including Paul's heffalump,  the only  one that confused me a bit was the mouse, complete  with rather annoyed serpent, and mousetrap; is the snake trying to warn the mouse?  Is  the mouse so devoted to the task in hand that he simply scoffs at danger?  If a deep and philosophical point was intended, I fear I'm rarely likely to be aware of these - simple man, you know, simple food and pleasures....    It was very well done, but left me baffled. These days, mind, that's not unusual.

The attention to detail is phenomenal… really great work and I particularly like the last one of the Leopard in the tree, just look at the branches and foliage as well as the animal itself…

Love the last one of the leopard set against that blue background - reminds me of Henri Rousseau’s work.
