ANIMALS AND NATURE
Animals and nature are big influences on the pieces at Art by Jo. Ranging from pet portraits to wildflower paintings, there are some for sale, and also some can be commissioned on request.
THE CURIOUS CALF
This acrylic painting of a curious calf is based on a photo I took of a calf that approached me during a walk to say hello!
It's A4 size in an A3 frame.
Status: For sale
Price: £50
PET PORTRAITS
Absolutely loved painting my fur baby, on a background of gold - my golden oldie! Ollie sits next to me while I do all my artwork, so it was just right that he had his portrait painted!
A pet portrait in A3 similar to this would be approx £60.
HELICOPTER
Charcoal drawing of a sycamore seed (or helicopters as we called them as kids), measuring 17 x 17cm. A little seed of hope for 2021.
Status: For sale
Price: £25.
WILDFLOWERS IN SUMMER
Oil on canvas, this painting captures a bright wildflower scene, using lots of colours sure to brighten up any room.
Status: Sold
BLOSSOMS IN SPRING
Oil on canvas of an abstract blossom branch in spring. I painted this during the lockdown period, so to me it represents how we flourish despite facing adversity. A symbol of hope in the springtime.
Status: Sold
WADDLING DUCK
A charcoal on paper, I captured the inquisitive nature of this little duck who came to get a closer look at my camera!
Status: Sold
DAIRY COWS
Live life like someone left the gate open!
It would be hard to be an artist in Northern Ireland without acknowledging the influence of agriculture on our country. Any drive through the country, you will encounter cows, and this painting was based on a photo I took of some interested cows while we were out on a walk. Gorgeous and intelligent animals, our green fields would be very empty without them!
TULIP BOUQUET
Colouring pencil on brown paper, this piece captures the vibrancy of the tulips, one of my favourite flowers.
Status: For sale
Size: 19 x 19 cm
Price: £25
HAKUNA MATATA
A piece of word art commissioned by a customer for her daughter's bedroom. If you'd like something similar, or with a different phrase, just get in contact.
HOUDINI, THE CAT
This watercolour is of a customer's childhood pet, painted from a photograph. Sounds like Houdini was a real character.
