The Old English Rabbit is one of the oldest breeds of rabbit, with some of the records as early as 1838.

Mrs English lived in a walled garden of an art gallery in Woodstock, Oxfordshire.

Many locals and their children will remember her and the competitions held to guess the number of 'spots'!

Historically women in art have been pivotal. Jeffrey loves women and they are central to his work.

' Most women I have met adored being painted, clothed or nude' 

The complexity of painting the figure continues to astonish him.

Jeffrey loves driving through France and stopping on the island of Ile de Re on the West coast. The island is known for its salt marshes and beaches backed by dunes and pine trees. The main town of St Martin de Re has the 17th-century fortifications of the Vauban plus outdoor cafes overlooking the marina. Bicycle paths crisscross the island.

They make perfect models once a respectful relationship has been established.

For a small fee, they sit happily when he sits amongst them with his sketchbook, in which he includes their drawings too.

Cornwall is an all-time favourite for Jeffrey for the past 60 years ~ family holidays, painting trips he loves the beaches, countryside and the special light. All ambitious painters have distant goals that commit them to paint every single day throughout their lives as did Picasso, drawing in bed, on his last day at 94! .. and for certain this shared goal is a fine reason for waking up excited every day.
