| Hound Prints and Terrier Prints For the last 31 years Ann has captured the true spirit of the countryside by projecting the very character of each wildlife subject into her detailed studies. Ann only works in watercolours or pencil and has developed a technique of building up thousands of colour washes to give an amazing intensity of colour to the study, whilst creating a tactile depth to the coat; this together with her ability to capture the very essence of the eye and expression, brings the animal to life. The interest in her wildlife studies has led to the publication of a popular series of limited edition wildlife prints portraying the very spirit of our native wildlife. These consist of a selection of hare prints, fox prints, deer prints, terrier prints, hound prints and many other subjects which all make special presentation gifts. |

Portrait with pencil remarques |
| To further personalize each portrait Ann can add pencil remarques to the head and shoulders study. These can either depict the animal in various positions and situations, it's aptitude or to illustrate the relationship with it's owner. Ann was commissioned to paint this Vizsla bitch to be given as a Christmas present to her owner. |
