Living in rural West Lancashire and with being blessed to be able to look out onto countryside from my home, I am lucky enough to see an abundance of nature. I draw on this for my inspiration when creating drawings and painting of small mammals and birds.
I work in a variety of mediums including Oils, Watercolours, Pastels and Pen and Ink. Examples of my work are shown below.
If you have a favourite bird or mammal and would like to commission a painting please get in touch with me at chris@spurwoodstudio.co.uk
