A recent portrait of my hero, Sir David Attenborough.

​

I piece I have wanted to do for some time, painted here in oils on a wooden panel. Approximately life size at 60 cm x 80 cm

​

Sir David has always been a huge inspiration to me, from watching him through the years on TV and being lucky enough to meet him at a lecture he presented many years ago in Stroud. I was probably only 10 years old, but I still remember vividly, the tale of his tapeworm experience after eating freshly killed goat!

​

He has done so much to raise awareness of the plight of our planet and the creatures who live in it. If there were one person I wish would live forever it would be him.

​

I tried to paint him in a way that you could feel his message, to stop and think. I hope I have achieved that, but for now, I am very  pleased with it
