New Winter Exhibition: Your Sneak Preview of my Latest Original Paintings

I'm all set for my latest exhibition which opens at my gallery in Thixendale on Saturday. I thought I'd share my very latest original paintings with those of my followers who won't be able to make it here. The exhibition, Wildlife in Winter: An Artist's Perspective, is a celebration of the season. You can read more about the event here.

Snow Stoat  £4,250

Original Acrylic Painting by Robert E Fuller

Framed Size: 26.25" x 21.5" Image Size: 16" x 11"

I have been studying stoats very closely over the last few years. I can now recognise individual animals in my garden by fleck markings on their face. I couldn't resist painting this young male as he bounded across the snow.

Kingfisher: The Winter Watcher

£3,250 NOW SOLD

Original Acrylic Painting by Robert E Fuller

Framed Size: 23"x19" Image Size: 7.5"x10.75"

I always love to watch kingfishers and have been lucky enough to study them in the nest. This painting was inspired by watching a kingfisher fishing at RSPB Fairburn Ings on a cold and snowy day.

 

Stoat - In the Balance

£1,450 NOW SOLD

Original Acrylic Painting by Robert E Fuller

Framed Size: 12.75" x 18.5" Image Size: 4.25"x 9.5"

A litter of stoat kits were born in my garden. In the autumn one of the males took up territory here. I trained him to climb up this stick for tit bits of food. I used a CCTV camera system to alert me when he arrived so I could take photographs of this unusual composition.

Long-Tailed Tit on Guelder Rose

NOW SOLD!

Original Acrylic Painting by Robert E Fuller

Framed size: 14.5" Image Size: 6" x 6.75"

I was exhibiting my work at Birmingham NEC one year. On my way into the show I noticed a pair of long-tailed tits building a nest by the main lake. I returned a week later and immediately went to see how they were getting on. They hadn't finished building their nest yet and kept returning with extra nesting material. I managed to get some photographs of these fast-moving little birds, which led to this painting.

 

Sparrowhawk in pursuit of Great Spotted Woodpecker

£3,950

Original Acrylic Painting by Robert E Fuller

Framed Size: 26.5" x 21.25" Image Size: 14" x 10"

A few years ago I took an amazing photograph of a sparrowhawk sitting on top of a fence post with a woodpecker perched on the same post, just centimetres below it. The woodpecker held itself stock-still and in this way it escaped detection. Moments before I took the photograph, the sparrowhawk had been chasing this woodpecker. In this painting I wanted to capture the drama of that chase: just as the two birds clashed in mid-air, before the woodpecker made its escape.

Pine Marten on Rock

£2,100

Original Pencil and Acrylic Painting by Robert E Fuller

Framed Size: 15" x 18.75" Image Size: 6.25" x 9.5"

I booked a cottage on the Ardnamurchan peninsular off the West Coast of Scotland especially to photograph pine martens. This endangered mammal visited the cottage every day to feed on tit bits I put out for it in the garden. All pine martens have unique bib markings. This young male was especially inquisitive and I spent a fascinating week studying him and his family.

Great Crested Grebe Incubating

£2,950

Original Pencil and Acrylic Painting by Robert E Fuller

Framed Size: ..... Image Size: 10.5" x 12"

I watched this great crested grebe at the ornamental lakes at York University. It was amazing to see just how relaxed it was just 10 metres from a busy footpath. It hatched three stripey chicks and took them out on to the main lake. But they kept coming back to the nest to rest and roost.

Mallards In Snow

£9,250 NOW SOLD!

Original Oil Painting by Robert E Fuller

Framed Size: Image Size: 27" x 19"

Ducks always make great subjects to paint. They have a comical character. I watched this mallard and three drakes jostle for position on an old post and rail fence.

 

Glencoe Stag

NOW SOLD!

Original Oil Painting by Robert E Fuller

Framed Size: Image Size: 26" x 18"

I recently went to see the red stag rut at Glencoe in Scotland. I followed this stag for four days, trailing it from dusk to dawn until it accepted my presence. Eventually it let me come withing 30 yards. This gave me a fascinating insight into the red stag rut. With this painting I wanted to capture the stag with the stunning mountain range behind it.
