This one could be sleeping. Or dead.
This is the original piece that I took my avatar from. He’s about 25×20cm, watercolour etc on canvas. There is iridescent leaf applied to the wing panes but can’t see it in the photo. / / He is…sneaky. / /
I was saddened to hear that Oink, who features in this artwork, had been subject to vicious attacks from thugs. They had been throwing bricks at him and putting washing up liquid in the 15 year old’s water trough. After hearing about the threat to Oink’s safety, David Larkin kindly donated and set up a CCTV sytem in Oink’s field. Other well-wishers are making donations to Oinks fund, which will raise money towards providing further security for Oink, such as a new fence. Read the full story, here Oink’s fund is now closed The tranquil beast in this photo manipulation is a Water Buffalo. I think he’s the only one in the UK, and I stumbled across him while out walking my dog in some local fields. His name is Oink! He got stranded in his field during the floods a few months ago. Luckily, he found his way to safety and became quite the celebrity in the animal world! This was edited in a similar way to my other work, Lord of the Water. Please click on this link for details. Please see my other work Arctic Beast also featuring Oink.

The strange and bizarre
Garden Beast III
Fiiiiiiinally finished. A companion piece to this one I did a year and a half ago: I decided the other day that there was a distinct lack of blue paintings in my folio! Had to rectify the situation. He is approx 30cm square, watercolour/pastel etc on canvas. He has shiny silver leaf on his spikes too.
I got sick of beakfaces and lizards momentarily and decided to paint some fishies – literally, goldfish…I’ve applied patches of gold leaf to their little heads. Despite being distracted by Eurovision I managed to finish it this weekend!! This one will probably be at Brunswick St Gallery in their small works show, June 6th. About 20×20cm, watercolour, chalk pastel etc on canvas. These enlargements are bigger than life size:
Thanks for dropping by. / Garden Beast VII
You know that kiwi band, straitjacket fish? I mean, straitjeckutt fush? This creature is badly behaved. 30×30cm, watercolour, pastel, ink, metallic pen, iridescent pigments on canvas.
Been a while since I did a beakface. This one has a hinged beak! A bit out of shape though. Little – 10×15cm, watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent blue pigments (on the feather tips) on canvas. Unbelievably, unlike most other photos of my works, you can kind of see the iridescent pigments!
I created this when I was designing my website. It held it’s place as my splash page for a while, but I decided to take it down considering the fact that I like it as a finished graphic. The girl reminds me of my sisters. Thank you for all of your support~ Image and concept created by Sara Wilson © All rights reserved. / www.fly-k.net
Another slightly deaf creature, like this one Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent pigments and copper leaf on canvas. In this one you can see the copper on the suckers:
Angler fish really are quite remarkable creatures! They live in the deep deep sea, further down than the light can reach, so to lure their prey in total darkness, they have rigged up a system of light emitting devices. They are not turned on here (as he is in the light, and they use up a lot of power so he only turns them on when he is hungry). Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas.

Painted for the Gallery 696 birthday show opening April 1st – the brief was ‘greyscale with a hint of colour’. The side wall of the gallery is about to get a new graf makeover in greyscale. Can’t wait to see it! I’ve always thought sea dragons had fold out accessories…didn’t you? Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte, iridescent pigments and metal leaf on canvas. The shiny bits: /
One of my girlfriends and her husband were born in the year of the “Tiger” (Chinese horoscope). When I finished the “Power Struggle” wood burning piece, I wanted give her a print for her birthday. She did not like it. Maybe she hates the idea of two tigers fighting. After I completed the “Beauty and Beast”, I thought she would like that one better. Guess what! She refused to have that one as well. / / When I showed this painting to another friend, she said: “Wow, great! A beauty playing the flute can make a tiger listen; we should try this on men.” In fact, my original thought is that the world is magnificent. No matter whether human being or animal, we can all share this space together. To the animal lovers, Lily Van Dyck
Some curious beasts indeed! First time drawing horses…as an adult anyway. I used to draw them all the time as a kid. Not quite like this though. Watercolour, ink and chalk pastel on canvas.
