Having had a great desire to draw a Highland Cow for a long time now, I have finally got round to it and I must say I feel it has proved worth waiting for as I am very pleased with the result. I hope you feel the same way about it as I’m offering limited edition prints on high quality bamboo card of this special original artwork, quality mounted (380mm x 340mm) and ready for framing. I will also include a greetings card with every one purchased. See below for details and how to get one.
After drawing five ‘free portraits for NHS Heroes’ during the pandemic, I have had the honour and privilege of drawing an amazing little boy. He truly is a hero and this is his story:
Rory Holloran would have been five years old on 26th August 2020. He spent time in John Radcliffe Hospital Oxfordshire, GWH Swindon and his last months in Charlton Farm Children’s Hospice in Bristol where he sadly passed shortly before his fifth birthday. He had wonderfully supportive NHS staff visiting daily. He amazingly fought his battle against Leukaemia so so bravely for two and a half years but in the end Rory lost his fight and passed due to many viruses and a massive breakdown of antibodies.
Thank you so so much everyone who donated to ‘NHS Charities Together’ in Rory’s memory. The Virginmoneygiving page is now closed.
PET AND PEOPLE PORTRAITS – I am taking commissions for portraits and this is one of my most recently completed pet portraits. See my portfolio for others. Please email me for further info on commissions at watters.alan@gmail.com
NOTE: Please ignore any watermarks as they won’t be present on any purchased items.
I can also supply signed and personalised greetings cards – contact me by email for further information at watters.alan@gmail.com
I have completed five portraits in the ‘Free Portraits for NHS Heroes’ incentive as was seen on BBC News. You can view all five of them on my Portfolio page (see menu above).
Some of my non-animal artworks are:
‘One’ – I created the original artwork for this ink stippling study through the inspiration and backing of award-winning Italian photographer Livio Moiana and his series of photographs entitled ‘Shapes (of freedom)’ where the human body is the source of inspiration to create and express feelings everyone is free to interpret. Click Portfolio in the menu bar above to view image and scroll down this page to order.
‘Hands across Time’ – I was inspired to draw the original graphite image by the recent birth of a baby to a close relative. Click Portfolio in the menu bar above to view image and scroll down this page to order.
Most artworks shown in the portfolio, other than the NHS Hero portraits and the pet portraits, (accessible from the menu above) are included in the sale in aid of Ukrainian relief efforts.
All images are printed on high quality acid-free natural white 265 g/m2 card made from 90% bamboo fibre and 10% rag. Card size is 32cm x 24cm, ready for framing. The price of many of them has just been reduced to only £15 each and includes UK postage (buyers outside of the UK may have to pay additional postage – please contact me for a quote).
I will also include a free pencil signed greetings card with every print.
I have also opened an online ArTee clothing shop with all the money I get from NHS-related sales going to NHS Charities Together. Please check it out at https://alans-fine-art.teemill.com/
Please also have a look at my eBay shop https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/alansfineart
