feather paintings and larger works, are regularly offered for sale. Owning a painting by Colin Woolf is more than just an investment: it will bring a lifetime of pleasure.

MICHELLE HEWITT
Michelle paints the wildlife seen in her homeland of rural Perthshire. Working from sketches and photographs, she fi nishes the paintings in her home studio near Glenshee. Michelle works in many different media, although pastels are her favourite as they don’t need any drying time and produce soft effects, which are perfectly suited to portraying fur. To Michelle, eyes are the most important feature of her subjects, and they are always completed before any other part of the painting is worked on. She spends much of her time on commission work and exhibits her work at her own studio, Perthshire Open Studios, local galleries and country fairs. Riverdell, Bridge of Cally. Perthshire.

Julian Jardine is an established wildlife sculptor working in ceramics. For the past 20 years he has been making a wide variety of endangered species and animals native to the UK. Largely sculpted from memory, his fi gures capture the real character of the animals portrayed. In 2008 he established the Jardine Gallery in Perth as an exhibition area and studio, which has managed to attract some of the UK’s best contemporary wildlife artists. The idea was to attract artists whose work complemented Julian’s own sculptures. The result has been an excellent mixture of drawing, painting and craftwork, all made to the highest standard. Julian’s website features all the artwork on show, demonstrations and information about art classes. Jardine Gallery, 45 New Row, Perth. Tel: 01738 621836,
