ERNEST LEAHY

My interest in wildlife has inspired my artwork but, although I have no qualifications in art, I have had opportunities to illustrate many publications and participate in many prestigious wildlife exhibitions. I have many sketchbooks produced in the field as a result of birding trips in the UK and Europe. To help me further I have produced a collection of accurate post-mortem studies of birds.  As well as watercolours, I have produced many illustrations in black & white.  Recently a number of my water colour paintings of birds were auctioned at Roseberies Auction Rooms, London, all selling above the reserve price.  My favourite artists are Charles Tunnicliffe and Dame Laura Knight.
