The animals she depicts – from a blackbird stealing redcurrants to seals in coastal waves – are always featured in atmospheric locations, which pull the viewer into the artwork.

Take Note Thierry Bisch (French, b. 1953) has long specialised in art with a message. Of late, he has brought his critical eye to the plight of animals at risk of extinction with his Delete? project, and a number of works from this series appear here in Thierry Bisch: A Bestiary. These paintings often top six feet, their size emphasising the vital importance of protecting these species. Pomegranate Europe 024 7621 4461

Owl Wise Most owl species have a great deal in common, yet their temperaments and behaviours can be strikingly different. San Francisco Bay Area artist Jeannine Chappell has observed owls in the care of local rescue organisations. Her collage-like works convey the unique character of each species, bringing us closer to these intensely wild birds. Pomegranate Europe 024 7621 4461 PROGRESSIVE CALENDARS 2017
