I can’t believe it is time to start thinking about this year’s #sketchforsurvival entry! I think I have chosen the subject - I wonder if you can guess?! Here are a couple of clues: it’s a primate; I am having a trip to Chester Zoo next week to see them in person…

Managed a little bit more of this gorgeous Mandrill today - fingers crossed he will be finished in time for Explorers Against Extinction’s #sketchforsurvival - he may not look it but he’s actually life size so all that fur is taking quite a while!

New artwork. Painting of a ring-tailed lemur. This painting was done using gouache.

This is my entry in the Explorers Against Extinction Sketch for Survival competition.

I was so excited to hear that the #sketchforsurvival auction raised an amazing £28000 this year! All the proceeds go towards Explorers Against Extinction’s conservation projects across the globe! We also won a wonderful piece in the auction and look forward to sharing it once it’s framed!

I finished him!! It was a bit touch and go while I am recovering but I managed to get this stunning mandrill finished and entered into Explorers Against Extinction’s #sketchforsurvival fundraiser! Called ‘Fire in his Eyes’ I was so drawn to this impressive male mandrill’s intense stare.
