ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:

British wildlife artist, Alan M Hunt, began painting at the age of eight when his mother gave him a box of paints to occupy him as he recuperated from an illness, double pneumonia. He started by painting British garden birds from his bedroom window with his 1937 copy of the Observers Book of British Birds and Archibald Thorburn illustrations. Alan soon moved on to capture the other wildlife and the natural world around him on watercolour paper, board and canvas.
