New Whitby Galleries Collection: Whimsical Animals, Cosy Cats, and Countryside Charm

Step into a world of autumnal beauty, countryside charm, and heartwarming cosiness with my latest collection for Whitby Galleries. This new set of paintings feature a delightful mix of woodland wildlife, adventurous dachshunds, and cats in all their mischievous glory, painted in my signature whimsical style.

This collection has been such a joy to work on! I know I say that about every collection, but painting is when I am at my happiest, and I’m continuing to explore the wildlife theme, which has become a firm favourite with you all, alongside my ever-loved cats. Whether it’s the peaceful stillness of a badger under the moonlight or the playful curiosity of a tuxedo cat placing its bum where it shouldn’t, I try to make every painting I create tell a unique story.

As always, my cats are as full of purrs-onality. There’s a grey tabby sailor cat lounging on a crate at the harbor, inviting you with its warm, welcoming expression. A tuxedo cat enjoys the fragrant beauty of the pink roses perfectly nestled in a wicker basket, but whether kitty is allowed to sit in the basket is a question we all know the answer to!. For a cosy seasonal touch, a sleeping ginger cat is bundled in a warm scarf with its toy mouse close by, reminding us to embrace the comforts of colder days.

For those who adore autumn-inspired scenes, there’s a ginger cat sitting among fallen leaves and a countryside-inspired grey tabby surrounded by flowers, mushrooms, and a tree stump — with a subtle nod to Whitby Abbey on a distant hill. And let’s not forget the ever-cheerful dachshund! Wearing a cosy sweater, this little dog takes a well deserved break while on a countryside stroll, bringing a smile to anyone who sees it.

Finally, this collection wouldn’t be complete without a sprinkling of woodland magic! A sleepy red fox rests peacefully in a quiet woodland setting, with mushrooms and wildflowers. An owl peers out from its home inside a tree, surrounded by grasses and fungi. And, of course, there’s a badger enjoying the serenity of a moonlit night, surrounded by wildflowers and grasses.
