Safaris
of Britain!
Many people are familiar with the remarkable journeys Pollyanna
makes in order to study her more exotic subjects in their natural
habitats, in some of the most remote parts of the world. Less
well known are the many journeys she makes within the British
Isles sketching and studying our own birds and mammals in the
wild!
Pollyanna has travelled from rugged Devonshire Moorland to
the spectacular and unrivalled landscapes of the Scottish Highlands
with its seemingly endless forests, through the winding lanes
of Suffolk in a traditional gypsy caravan, in search of hares,
and searched for Red Squirrels in the Lake District.
For fifteen years Pollyanna ran a registered wildlife hospital,
and has visited many other sanctuaries to sketch baby hedgehogs,
badgers and otters.
In the far north of Scotland, she has sketch the Scottish Wildcat
- although not much larger than a domestic cat this elusive
animals is one of the most endangered species of cats in the
entire world.
In fact Pollyanna regularly travels to the Highlands to sketch
Scottish wildlife – including red squirrels, and pine
martens – from the banks of Loch Ness to the Black isle.
She has observed dolphins in the Moray Firth, and ospreys at
Loch Garten. She also enjoys to paint Highland Cows –
animals for whom every day is a bad hair day!
Other journeys have taken Pollyanna to the Isle of Skye, where
she stayed in a cottage belonging to Virginia McKenna’s
Born Free Foundation. This peaceful location overlooking a loch
provided the ideal base for Pollyanna to sketch the wildlife
including Golden eagles, Peregrines, seals and otters. Pollyanna
was also invited by the Eileen Ban Trust to visit the small
island on which Gavin Maxwell, author of Ring of Bright Water
made his home. Here she was able to sketch in the Trust’s
private otter hide.
Her Christmas exhibition held annually in her private gallery
always features paintings of British wildlife and landscapes.
