Toad Walking by John Norris Wood

The Land Gallery would like to extend its warm congratulations to John Norris Wood who has been awarded a Professorship by Southampton University. Formerly the visiting Professor of Natural History illustration at the Royal College of Art, John celebrated his award by running a drawing class at the University. Seven birds of prey were brought into the studio to be drawn by students, according to John's keen desire for artists to know wildlife through drawing. Some of the birds of prey were allowed to fly freely in the drawing studio.

Bright White by Anna Kirk Smith

Anna Kirk Smith has supplied The Land gallery with eight new pieces of recent work, completed around the British coast at varying altitudes and in many weathers.

Andrew Tyzack has provided new artwork inspired by animals from his travels around the world. Included is his four colour lino cut of Painted Dogs seen whilst on a camping trip in Botswana's Chobe National Park. Andrew has donated copies of this work to Painted Dog Conservation and some were auctioned at an event held at the Natural History Museum, London, raising money to help conserve the African Hunting Dog. Please visit his collection to view this and his other new works.

Four new paintings and two drawings from Debbie Grice have been added to the gallery so please visit her collection to view them. The charcoal drawings are landscapes of the view toward Rosedale in North Yorkshire while the acrylic paintings draw their inspiration from the landscape and coast of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides.

Four new pastels from Dafila Scott have been added to her collection. Each is available framed or unframed - if you would like to purchase any of the pieces framed, please contact us first.

We’ve added ten new pieces from David Bennett, a mixture of paintings and drawings. Visit David’s collection to see the new work.
