Bonjour everybody!So many "First time" for Giggle the goose! This morning he was with me on the Rush Hour again and soon after we did a "Food Rush"!I have to say, it is a little overwhelming for a little gosling to be surrounded by so many big birds and I am not just talking about chickens and ducks who are quite big compare to Giggle but...

Bonjour everybody!We decided that Giggle, our little one month old gosling was ready for a grown up rush hour this morning!He was a bit apprehensive, the other geese, particularly Guilbert were letting him know who is the boss, this is the pecking order going on and we cannot stop it but all good, Giggle did not leave my side and we came ...

Bonjour everybody!Last week was "Cat week" for me! This is my latest commision painting and I am very happy to have had the opportunity to paint Shyla, the choice of my client to have her sleeping on her favourite pillow attracted me immediately as I knew it would be different from the composition I usually do, most of the time I focus on the ...

Bonjour everybody!I have never really talk about where some of my inspiration comes from, having spent over 10 years in the interior design field where I was mainly doing hand drawn perspectives, my style of illustration has of course been very much influenced and inspired by the way I was drawing at the time.I was very lucky when in Paris as I met...

Bonjour everybody!What can I say! Butterscotch the Guinea pig is my favourite (don't tell the others).She arrived at the farm over a month ago and very quickly communicate to us her love for strawberries, mostly by nibbling them at any opportunity she found.On her portrait my aim was to get her little cheeky personality out on the canvas and s...
