THE different parenting styles of British wildlife are the subject of an art exhibition which is due to launch in North Yorkshire next month.
Wildlife artist Robert Fuller has devoted years to studying the ways different species bring up their broods for a new series of detailed paintings on show at his gallery in Thixendale, from June 3 to 25.
The art work, which include scenes of foxes and cubs, curlews with chicks and ducklings nestling under their mother, are the result of intensive studies of animal parents in the wild. Also on display are the individual stories of the animal families that informed the paintings.
Photographs and video clips also form part of the ‘Bringing up Baby’ exhibition and live footage streamed from surveillance cameras hidden in nests of owls, kestrels and stoats shows visitors exactly what goes on between animal parent and baby.
