For my small bird paintings, I usually like a smooth surface. So instead of using canvas (which often has a textured surface) I like to use wood panels. The white panels shown are called gessobord. They are a composite product like masonite. They are factory gessoed with the white surface and are ready to paint on. I really like this product for my paintings. The boards you see are maple panels. One nice thing about these boards is they have a notch in the back for hanging. So there is no need to frame. Plus the painting stands out, not the frame. So it's a very simple style. I like the organic quality of the wood...

I feel so excited about the upcoming release of a new book by Angus Hyland and published by Laurence King Publishing.
The book will be released May 31st in the US. Twenty-four of my bird paintings are featured in the book.
The book is called "The Book of the Bird". It's a carefully collected book of bird art by past and present artists. Full blog post here.
Very exciting and honored to be a part of this new book!
I don't know if I will sell these as prints. But I am thinking about it in the future. What do you think? Would you like a round print?
Here is a recent video I did talking about how I prep these panels for painting.
I feel so excited to be offering my fine art prints to you. I've been waiting for the right platform and setting. I wanted to maintain control of as much of the process as possible. I have tried other services and wasn't completely satisfied with the quality and options available. So I am very glad to be able to offer you prints directly from my art studio. I only use the finest materials and archival papers and inks available. The prints are hand trimmed and packaged with stiff backing in a clear sleeve. Then shipped in a protective cardboard folding box. You may notice the sizes are no larger than 8 x 10 inches. That is the largest...
Hi there! I am so excited to open my new shopify store. Why? So I can provide and share my art with you. For some time, I have been receiving many requests and comments from you telling me of your troubles finding ways to purchase my art. Many have told me of their frustration at clicking on an item and finding it sold, time and time again. Well, now you can purchase many of my prints. These are printed directly in my art studio and shipped with love. The sizes are currently small due to the small resolution image sizes of the art I have taken in the past, as well as the size limitations of my current fine art...
