Annie, our Wildlife Artist, spends @devonopenstudios working away on her latest piece - in fact she sometimes gets so absorbed that visitors are reluctant to disturb her! 😂 But she would be the first to say that she enjoys any excuse for a break! And the change of pace from working alone to sharing a space with other artists and visitors is very welcome. We all work from home studios the rest of the year, so we try to make the most of those 2 weeks in September. Annie will have some new prints available this year - including this lovely Hare 🥰 #hare #devonartist #devonopenstudios #devon #hares #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #oilpainting #painter #animalart #openstudios
