Watch Out for the Cat’s Eyes

Tiger and Snow Leopard are just two of the mesmerising paintings on show at Andrew Hutchinson's one-man annual exhibition next month. North Yorkshire artist Andrew will be exhibiting in his home town with over 30 original paintings and a wide range of limited edition prints. He says of the show “I wanted to explore the beauty and depth of the eyes of animals. Get the eyes right and the animal comes alive.”

Principally known for his paintings of British wildlife and farming subjects, you can see more of Andrew’s work for one day only at Sunnyfield House, Guisborough, North Yorkshire TS14 6BA on Saturday 9th November 2013.

Habitat Loss

This collection of watercolour paintings by Daniel Mackie studies animals in their natural habitats. Finely executed, the paintings have their natural environment illustrated within them, but Daniel's interest goes beyond the surface.  He says "Some (animals) are listed by the IUCN as critically endangered, like the tiger and the mountain Gorilla, others like the bear have adapted to the presence of humans well. But with all of them the encroachment of man into these animals' natural environment is detrimental. Logging, food production, poaching and settlements all have impacted, and in the case of the tiger and the mountain gorilla their ability to prevail in the wild teeters on a knife edge."
