A new addition to my site. My Larmer Tree Temple artwork is now available as a Sepia Print and a Charcoal Grey fine art print. Larmer Tree Temple is one of the many ornate buildings situated within the Larmer Tree Gardens, Tollard Royal. I've recently received a...
The New Year started off with a lovely order for a client in the US: a Peacock at Larmer Tree Fine Art Print plus a Larmer Tree Temple Fine Art Print. I was asked if I would also include my history as an artist whilst living at the Larmer Tree, plus any information...
. Happy New Year and thank you so much for your support during 2022. Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2023!
I was excited and 'up and at it' rather early in order to take the bins down the track. I'm not normally up so early - it was still dark, but it was my birthday and super to watch the sun rising as I strolled back with my furry buddy. Brian is unwell and I wanted to...
This a.m same again. Bertie tries to eat but seems to struggle. I don’t want to give up on him because I know he is fighting and doing his best to pull through. I won’t continue if I think he is suffering though. For now, he is warm and comfy and I wish you all a...
Bertie is still with us, but only just. He's been refusing liquids all day and was not at all good with his last feed late last night. So much so, I didn't expect him to be with us this a.m and was pleased and surprised to see his ears twitch slightly as I opened his...
An unusual Christmas Eve day. Instead of making mince pies I was out rescuing an underweight brown long-eared bat. He was found outside, 2ft off the ground on a garage wall, at 11 a.m. yesterday. The bat was still there today, and thankfully, the finder found me via...
Back in 2011, I was caring for 5 pups over the Christmas period. I managed to take a photo of one of the bat pups peeping out of their bat box and decided to make it into a 'Cheeky Bat' Christmas card. I love the way it looks as if he is attempting to take a peek at...
We are witness in real time the end of #nature as we once knew her. J.Y.
As it's almost Halloween ...I thought I would share a camera-shy juvenile Greater Horseshoe bat photo. Having been weighed, he was reversing out of his bag whilst I waited patiently to take his photo. ^o^ ^0^
It is important that all rescues are able to take off from the ground should they inadvertently become grounded. A healthy bat can take off from the ground; and in the safety of my bat flight, this pipistrelle was preparing to take flight and flew well. Unless they...
My Watchful Lioness has only taken a year to get to this stage. Twixt caring for family with health issues/hospital appts. plus numerous bats needing rescue and rebuilding my bat flight....am now painting again...yay! My Lioness Portrait is an acrylic painting and...
Collected a bat from the vet today. I knew if she was still inside this unsealed box, she wasn't in good condition. The huge box contained two short sticks, a pip, and a small dish of water. Sadly, as anticipated, she had a broken shoulder and a fractured humerus....
Photo of Bryony on arrival. She was seen during the daytime sitting on a wall and was still sitting there the following afternoon. She was delivered to me covered in mites, stiff as a board, and weighing 2.66g. She should have been at least 4.50g. She slowly...
Iggy fast asleep after having his lunch. Barbastelles have beautiful long silky browny-black fur flecked with white tips. GOOD NEWS Years ago we placed two bat boxes on trees outside our garden gate. We have just learned that one is absolutely stuffed full of...
