Meet Oswald the Otter. This original otter painting on English Oak has been hand-painted on a stunning piece of live-edge wood. The wood has some beautiful and unusual markings on it which make the piece very unique and I have painted the otter in keeping with the wood so as to celebrate the beauty of both the otter and the wood itself.
 
This original otter painting on English Oak is a real statement piece of art that could never be replicated (due to the uniqueness of the timber). It comes ready to hang on your wall and would look beautiful as a center piece is any room.
 
I only paint wildlife on wood as I love using wood as a natural and sustainable background to my artwork. Much of the wood that I work with is reclaimed and therefore has some beautiful markings and character that deserve to be preserved and celebrated. This is a one-off piece of mackerel art and having been coated in a flat matt varnish for protection, it should stand the test of time and can be treasured for a life-time.
