Further details
"My Work is a nostalgic view of a world that even in my early childhood was still substantially unspoiled, and is something by way of a homage to 17th and 18th century animal and bird painters, ie: Desportes, Bogdani, Barraband and Hondecoeter.
These artists have always fascinated me with their extaordinary, if sometimes bizarre, arrangement of disparate creatures. My aim is to recapture that almost naive delight when encountering an unfamiliar species." The painting includes the following species; Scarlet Macaw, Toco Toucan, Common Iguana, Squirrel Monkey and a Brazilian Cardinal.
