Chris Dunn Illustration/Fine Art

I have only just realised I never posted this finished painting on the blog. Quick Getaway Watercolour / Gouache 24 x 31cm This painting was partly inspired by the moonlit paintings of Atkinson Grimshaw and with any good night-time scene you have to have the moon silhouetting the branches of a gnarled tree in winter - it's the law. The pub which the sly fox is running away from is base on the Wagon & Horses at Beckhampton which is about 7miles from where I live.

Chris Dunn Illustration/Fine Art
