The result is a delightful fusion of tradition and whimsy, brought to life through thoughtful composition, rich colour work, and solid technical perspective. This artwork is both cheeky and clever—an engaging concept executed with skill and character. Well done!⁠

Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 All Creatures and Wild Things exhibition! Pictured here is the winning artwork for third prize, Please Dad, I Dropped Mine (Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoos) by Kristy-Ann Duffy.⁠
⁠
This artwork was judged by Martin Day and below are his comments on the piece:⁠ This endearing painting of a yellow-tailed black cockatoo family is both visually striking and emotionally resonant. Thoughtfully composed with a clear narrative, the work demonstrates technical finesse and artistic sensitivity. Though rendered in acrylic, it carries the richness and depth of an oil painting. The feather textures are particularly impressive—vividly coloured, intricately detailed, and expertly observed. The choice of canvas size is commendable, allowing the birds to be portrayed at nearly life-size, enhancing the viewer’s sense of presence and intimacy. A beautifully executed piece—congratulations to the artist on an exceptional work.⁠

Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 All Creatures and Wild Things exhibition! Pictured here is the winning artwork for second prize, Marvel by Soroor Behbahani.⁠
⁠
This artwork was judged by Martin Day and below are his comments on the piece:⁠ This pencil rendering of Octopus vulgaris is a remarkably detailed and skilful study that reflects the artist’s deep understanding of cephalopod anatomy, surpassing mere reliance on photographic⁠
reference. The composition, though ambitious, is thoughtfully executed, with striking contrasts in lighting and a well-balanced interplay between the rich, dark background and the vivid, intricately rendered foreground. It is a striking close-up composition, expertly perceived with exceptional detail and precision. Congratulations!⁠

Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 All Creatures and Wild Things exhibition! Pictured here is the winning artwork for first prize, Shadowfax by Terry Hadnutt.⁠
⁠
This artwork was judged by Martin Day and below are his comments on the piece:⁠ This is a powerful painting that captures the spirit and motion of a grey horse with remarkable energy and emotion. The swirling, ambiguous background—rendered in vivid, rich colours—creates a⁠
dynamic contrast that perfectly balances the composition. There’s a refi ned restraint at play, reflecting the artist’s seasoned instinct to stop at just the right moment, allowing the piece to breathe without overworking it. The result is a striking blend of impressionistic technique, thematic depth, and expressive colour use—a beautiful portrayal of movement and mood. Truly, a compelling and masterful work. Well done!⁠
