As it’s world #bee day! I couldn’t not repost this piece which is soon to be displayed at the #mallgalleries in #London as part of the #davidshepherd #wildlifeartistoftheyear #exhibition #worldbeeday #bees #colouredpencils #colouredpencildrawing #animalart #animalartistry #honeybee #drawdaily #drawdrawdraw #illustrate #creativehappylife
I'm really enjoying cracking on with this painting, it's been waiting a long time for me to finish it and with the DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year deadline fast approaching I am hoping to get this done in time to submit it.
.
Swipe to see my studio assistants... whose tails/noses I live in constant fear of... one of these days they will add their own finishing touches to one of my paintings!

Do you remember this little piece I made a while ago?
Some months ago someone here on Insta suggested that I should submit one of my artworks to the @dswfwildlifeart
Artist of the Year contest. So I gave it a shot and submitted this little guy just for fun and apparently it got among the finalists and will be displayed in London! I don't really know what to say about this because I'm completely blown away. ❤ I never thought I'd stand a chance with all these amazing artists submitting their work there. That's such a great honour for me. I'm still trying to realise this even if I got the email weeks ago. This little guy will be on sale there, helping to raise money for endangered species. So if you're interested, come and visit!

Today would have been the 88th birthday of our beloved founder, David Shepherd.
David was a dedicated conservationist and incredible wildlife painter who inspired thousands of people around the world to take action to protect wildlife.
He was also kind, funny, friendly and loving to all he met. He is greatly missed by all of us.
We are honoured to continue the work he began, sharing his name, his passion and his art across the world, making a difference to the future of wildlife.
Thank you to all our supporters. Without you we couldn't continue the work we do.

From the ‘great ape’ family, Chimpanzees are only found in the African wild and are faced with almost certain extinction if we do not act today to save these vanishing populations. The others in the great ape family are bonobos, gorillas and orangutans. Listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List, the future of chimpanzees is bleak.
Despite sharing more than 96% of our DNA, humans still remain the largest threat to the survival of chimps in the wild. At risk from the illegal wildlife trade, where one chimp every four hours is brutally taken from the wild, human encroachment, competition for land and human born diseases, we are their mortal enemy in many ways. Yet we hold the power to turn the tide and ensure their survival.
To find out how you can be a part of the conservation solution, please visit our ‘Defend the Dynasty’ crisis appeal here:https://davidshepherd.org/help-us/chimpanzees
Together, we can turn the tide on this crisis before it is too late.

(SOLD)DAY10. Sketch for wildlife: £100/100%donation to @dswfwildlife . Buffalo, aka ‘Dugga boy’. These old solitary buffalo have a wild reputation for being aggressive and dangerous. Generally wallowing in waterholes and caked in mud. Always a number one hazard when walking on foot. Most animals will mock charge to warn you from getting to close. However, with these boys there’s no ‘mock’ about it. Its 700kg’s, full on, and it’s lethal. I have always had such a soft spot for these animals. So much respect for their sheer power and grit. #sketchforwildlife #sketchdaily #sketch #fundraise #buffalo #conservation #africa #davidshepherd #art #painter #love #wilderness #duggaboy
I had to paint this boy twice. Never normally do that but I had too much energy to keep him to one canvas
reference : #davidshepherd / grandfather, archive. I found this in his studio among thousands of photos, notations, sketches, and old-school slides and projectors. A time warp and privilege to slowly and carefully riffle through his precious, chosen moments of The wild, to relay them once again in my own way through paint; our common language. Maybe he was looking down and asking me to bugger off and leave his stuff alone, but I did my best for you old geeza..
So this lion was probably wild and roaming somewhere in East Africa in the 70's. That's pretty magical in my mind.
God I can't wait to find time sketching and learning these beautiful creatures all over again. #onmyway 1.83X1.22 Meters.
