I'm lucky enough to own one of Jake Winkle's watercolours. Well, perhaps not lucky so much as canny because I bought it for my husband for Xmas one year! Win, win!
Although the image above is not mine, ours is also of chickens. The colours are stunning and really work, even though you wouldn't find them on a real hen. And the shadows ... well I'm no critic but I just love them.
I had originally thought that horse-racing was Jake's trademark as I had seen them at several exhibitions but he paints much more than animals. There are scenes of Venice, Africa, cafe life and coastlines too.
A panaromic view of his and my home town, Blandford, is on public display and can be viewed any time in a sheltered spot near the Church in the town centre.

He runs courses too and if these are anything to go by, he's clearly good at explaining his methods.
And you can find out more about his art and workshops on his website.
