| Wildlife 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. |

 |
Fox Portrait |

Puss - Hare Print |
| Here Ann has captured an adult hare typically jinking whilst running. In this impelling study its head is leaning towards the rest of its body, its listening ears are well apart, and its eyes are gazing into you. |
|
|
| |
 |
Sally Hare Print |
| Sally In this impelling watercolour study, Ann has portrayed an adult hare sat up, listening for imminent danger. Its ears are flat back against its head in a pose so synonymous with the hare. It's nose is twitching and its eyes are looking for the danger. |
|
|
| |
 |
The Foxcub |
| In this study of a mask of a fox cub, Ann has concentrated on portraying the sharp, inquisitive expression of youth which this young fox cub portrays |
|
|
| |
 |
The Hare |
| Ann has epitomised the hare in this study portraying an adult hare sitting motionless. Its large ears are flickering listening for danger, its nose is twitching and its eyes have the synonymous glassy stare. |
|
|
| |
 |
The Leveret |
| Ann has depicted this young sitting hare in a profile study. Its ears are lying backwards, yet not as far as adult hares. It is already cultivating that glassy stare synonymous with its parents. |

 |
The Roebuck - Deer Print |
| In this Roebuck portrait Ann has portrayed a Roebuck (male deer) in typical autumn 'pepper & salt' coat, just after the rut. This Roebuck has a blemish to his nearside antler, probably caused by 'fraying' on a blackthorn, whilst in velvet in the spring. |
