‘The Natural Eye’ - the 61st annual exhibition of the Society of Wildlife Artists - was, as usual, held at the Mall Galleries in London, and opened to the public from Thursday 17th October to the 27th October.
'The Natural Eye is considered the foremost event in the British wildlife art calendar and is a platform for the very best of art, in all media, inspired by the natural world'.

From the 2nd to the 6th July my oil painting, Wanderer (100 x 150 cm) was on show as a finalist at the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year Exhibition at the Mall Galleries (London). I was delighted to be included in this exhibition/competition showcasing wildlife art from across the world and, most importantly, raising funds for wildlife conservation.
