Did you know they have a special transparent eyelid like a contact lens that protects their eyes underwater? Amazing!

Marley the Sprocker Spaniel! Isn't he lovely?! I really enjoyed illustrating this little dog, with all his different colours and textures. If anyone has a pet they would like me to illustrate, let me know π

English Channel Sunrise πββοΈβοΈπ€
Artwork based on my #EnglishChannel solo swim a few years ago. I still vividly remember seeing the first sunbeams appearing over the horizon after several hours of swimming in the dark. Magical and unforgettable.
Gannets π Whenever I am in the Outer Hebrides I love spending time watching these incredible birds dive down into the sea like streamlined bullets.π#gannets#seabirds#wildlifeart
