Nicola Litchfield. 
Lancashire artist Nicola Litchfield is renowned for her animal paintings.  Her work has an intimate, narrative quality, be it a sleeping calf, a scratching pig or lamb's playing.

Her sensitive approach portrays the real essence of the animals and her genuine affection for them.  Working in both oil and pastel Nicola uses broad painterly brush strokes delicate with colour and captures a wonderful feeling of light.  Her paintings are true animal magic!

Since winning the Society for All Artists, Artist of the Year Animal Category in 2008, Nicola's work has become much in demand.

She is a self-trained artist now working full-time as a painter. Known for her interpretation of landscapes and buildings she has developed a bold and vivid style to express her view of the world and bring perspective to her painting. She works mainly in watercolours but loves to experiment with other media.

She continues to broaden her range of subjects, maintaining her energy and colours by using an economy of brush strokes. Sue works as loosely as possible as watercolours can be controlled but never bullied.

The colours she uses take on a wide range of hues when she adds light and dark, giving a translucent quality coupled with brush texture and an ability to use contrasting colour to very good effect.

“Nothing in my pictures is real. Everything is off-kilter, which generates an energy that seems to appeal. The more I exaggerate my figures, the more popular they are. People can see what they want to see if pictures aren't literal.”

After a career in teaching Peter became a full time artist aged 40, contracted to Agnews of London and saw his work exhibited around the world. Many celebrities collected his work including James Mason & Sir Tom Courtenay. He began featuring himself and his dog in his paintings in the 1980's and this became a trademark for his later work.

About Carl Fitton

Carl has always had a passion for drawing and in particular drawing animals, big or small domestic or wild he enjoys drawing  them! In the sixteen years since completing his degree in Design Studies at Wolverhampton University he has been continuously honing his skills completing both pet portraits and studies of wild animals.

He is fascinated with the amazing creatures which we have the privilege of sharing our planet with and loves to draw and paint them in a variety of mediums.  Carl says the character of an animal can be seen in their faces and in particular their eyes. It is said the eyes are the windows to the soul and he believe's this is true in animals as well as us humans. Carl is fascinated with this concept and strives to capture this in both his commissioned pieces and self initiated work.  He is currently working on a series of studies focusing primarily on close up images of the faces of a variety of his favourite animals, some are big some small some very rare and others we see every day but all share a beauty. 

At Main Street Gallery we have a wide and varied selection of Giclee, Lithographic or top quality Gouttolette prints from signed limited editions, signed open editions and open editions, framed or unframed.

Mary Ann Rogers has consistently been in the top 5 published artists according to the Fine Art Trade Guild.

Mary Ann is a self-taught artist who began painting at a very early age and has become one of the most acclaimed watercolour painters of her subjects in Britain.

Her stunning countryside studio, made famous by a T.V. documentary, allows her to paint her subjects direct from life - capturing the briefest moments in time.

The ceiling to floor windows face Northwards, making maximum use of the natural North light, enabling Mary Ann to observe sheep grazing up the hill and her many feathered subjects feed, strut, mate, fight, and rest before her watchful eye in the garden.
