A blogspot set up as a memorial to my late husband who sadly lost his battle with cancer in June 2008. A superb naturally talented artist with no formal art training of any kind, he was renowned all through the 1960's & 1970's in publications, television and press, Its my aim to bring his work back to the fore again & to share it with other people. Please feel free to contact me through the blogspot or my website www.wildlifeetchings@yahoo.co.uk.

Hi, its been a while since Ive been on here, Les's work is currently on sale in Marlborough, Wiltshire where I hope that it will generate some interest, he used to have work displayed here before, so it was only fitting that I secured a small area within a craft environment to redisplay it. Have been getting some more of our photos and albums up together and added a few to this blog, Ryan & Becky's baby (Riley) due any day now also and Ryan due to collect his Duke of Edinburgh award from the Palace tomorrow, They make me so very proud.

Hi, last week our local paper, the Andover Advertiser did a feature on Leslie's artwork, it certainly seemed to bring it to peoples attention and i received a lot of very positive feedback from it, I really hope that this is the start of it taking off.

Hi again, some more pics as promised, if you are new to the blogsite please do read the older posts as they explain a little bit of what this site is about and also some more fantastic pics. Thank you. Enjoy.












Hi, havnt been able to get back to add to the blogsite due to other responsibilities etc, I have recently been contacted by Joanne Sinclair,www.jojojewellery.me.uk, who viewed Leslie's artwork on the blogspot and on www.folksy.com and has invited me to the Henley on Thames art trail which runs for 3 days over the bank holiday at the end of May 2009, in addition to that I'm attending a gallery/photoshoot with selected pieces of the artwork later on this month as there will be a large press coverage there and it will be an opportunity for me to perhaps make new contacts as well as exhibiting incredible artwork. I have also posted some new pictures on the blogsite, both of etchings and of watercolour paintings that Leslie also did from time to time, though they came later in life, I hope you enjoy, Im also hoping that a card company/manufacturer will contact me with regard to using the artwork, with a view to a percentage going to a cancer charity.
