This dynamic painting of a bulls head was a companion piece to accompany a painting I did of a full bull standing in a field called ‘The Prize Bull’.
I sold both paintings to the same client who called in to the gallery, he was on his way home from a cattle market

These Hereford bulls are magnificent animals and make great paintings.
I had this particular painting hanging in my gallery window along with a painting of a head study which I may post at a later date.
They were hanging in the window for less than a week, a farmer who happened to be passing by after a call at a cattle market called into the gallery and purchased them both.
Lucky for me that they were hanging in the right place at the right time.

This is my latest animal painting of a pollard Hereford Bull. Hereford cattle, especially bulls make great paintings. I saw this magnificent beast relaxing in a field whilst out walking in Cumbria and immediately thought it would make for a great painting. I painted this great beast sometime after back in my studio, I like the result and hope that you do to.

‘This fabled mountain is perhaps the most impressive in Britain, and gives a day of drama and views that will live in the memory forever. An Teallach is a mountain in Scotland. It lies to the southwest of Dundonnell and overlooks Little Loch Broom, in an area often nicknamed the “great wilderness”. An Teallach means ‘The Anvil’ or ‘The Forge’ in Scottish Gaelic; although most scholars claim the latter is most correct as the mountain’s name refers more to the colour of the terrain in certain lighting conditions, rather than shape.’
I discovered An Teallach whilst on holiday in the West Coast of Scotland. Some people that paid me a visit at my gallery in Staffordshire owned a cottage in Gruinard in Wester Ross, and I painted a picture for them in exchange for two weeks stay in their cottage. The painting here was executed some time after back in my studio and is essentially an exhibition painting. It would be technically impossible to paint anything like this on the spot.

One of the most iconic images of Scotland and recognized the world over. This romantic castle which is situated on an island on the West Coast of Scotland, where the lochs of Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh meet is surrounded by some majestic scenery, one of the most visited castle’s and important attractions in the Scottish Highlands, a favorite haunt of mine on the West Coast that inspired me to paint it on canvas and hangs in my gallery with a restored Victorian frame.

I have an affinity with these great beasts and although they are becoming increasingly more popular in the Midlands where I live, I always seek them out whenever I go upto Scotland, particularly on the South West Coast.
I sold this painting from my website to someone who lives in the South of the country.
