| Description |
In this beautifully intimate portrait of a pine marten, Ms St John captures the delicate essence of a creature whose presence is nearly lost in parts of Britain. Its soft fur, detailed with warm earthy tones, invites the viewer to feel its vulnerability. The pine marten’s wide, reflective eyes seem to hold the weight of its endangered status, particularly in Wales and England, where it teeters on the edge of extinction. Nestled in its natural habitat, the artwork evokes a sense of urgency to protect this rare species. The painting not only showcases the beauty of this elusive animal but also serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving British wildlife before it disappears forever. |
