Landscape & Wildlife Paintings
Realistic oil paintings inspired by the beauty of the natural world, with a particular focus on light, atmosphere and detail.
Hold on to the places, creatures and moments you never want to leave behind.
The Liminal Grove
A collection about finding stillness, perspective and possibility among the trees.
Bring a place, memory or companion to life in paint
Whether it’s a much-loved landscape, a meaningful place or a beloved pet, I work closely with clients to create paintings that are personal, thoughtful and made to last. Every commission begins with a conversation about what matters most to you.
David
Brilliant! The texture of the dug hair is great.
Quinn
Magnificent, you could see the cheekiness in his eyes and the playfulness in his expression.
Laura
It truly captures the essence of Spike. His cheeky wee face. His goofy way of sitting. His always sunny disposition.

James Drysdale
I’m drawn to the moments in nature that make you stop and look twice: a shift in the light, the character of an animal, the atmosphere of a familiar place. I paint to hold onto those moments and give them a life beyond the instant they were first seen. Each painting is an invitation to keep a lasting connection to something you love, remember, or simply never want to lose sight of.
