Snowshoe Hare, Wildlife Painting

Snowshoe Hare, chalk pastel on board

I painted this wee hare because, well, he was too cute not to. What more can I say?

I have prints and cards of him now as the original has sold. You can find them here.

Cheetah Cub I, Wildlife Painting

Cheetah Cub I, chalk pastel on board

The original painting was of a cheetah family, the mother and 3 cubs. It was OK. But as time went on, I began to hate the way I had painted the mother, and the composition stopped working for me; so I cut it up.

I now have two cheetah cub paintings that I am much happier with. This is the first.

I'll post the second one at a later date.

Silverback, Gorilla, Wildlife Painting

I love silverbacks. I love gorillas; so I drew one.

Butterflies II, Wildlife Painting

Butterflies II, oil on board

This is the second butterfly painting I did. You never know, I may do more.

Winter Wolf 3, Wildlife Painting

Work in progress 5

Winter Wolf, chalk pastel on board, 38 x 39.5cm

Finished, and I've included my first ever video of my work too! Winter wolf is for sale on both Etsy and Folksy.

Winter Wolf 2, Wildlife Painting

I realised after a while that I needed to redraw the ear. Sooner rather than later.

Winter Wolf 1, Wildlife Painting

 

I have started working on a wolf, just because I love them. More stages to come.

Cheetah, Wildlife Painting

 Cheetah, chalk pastel on board, 20 x 23.5cm (8 x 9")

 I love Cheetahs and have done several paintings of them. This is one of my favourites.

Koi Carp

Koi Carp painted using chalk pastel on pastel paper.

I've just sold this painting. I'm sorry to see it go, I have to admit.

Hunter

I have finished a new painting. It's chalk pastel on board, and considering it's my first one for 3 years, I think it's a good start.

He's called Hunter. Your opinion would be appreciated.

Tracy Harrison Butler Gallery Website

I have, at long last, an up and running website. I built it myself, and after much frustration have a working site that I'm rather pleased with - who knew that capital letters in file names could cause heartache and sleep loss?

I've decided to concentrate mainly on my wildlife here. Let me know what you think - Tracy Harrison Butler Gallery.
