Painting Lions, Penguins and Elephants.

Over the past year we have been busy painting sculptures for various trails, that are taking place across the UK. Find out about a few of them here.

One of trails that is on now is the Stomp Round Leicester trail. A herd of 40 elephants and 82 baby elephants are stampeding now around the city until 21st September! We painted this lovely elephant, which celebrates Leicester through time, from the Georgian New Walk promenade and Leicester tramways to the modern-day city centre. We loved adding the regal gold and blue details to this as well as painting in the local area in the circle foliage shapes.

Our first design Flock to Maidstone is inspired by Maidstone’s best-loved places to visit, such as Leeds Castle, Stoneacre and the River Medway. Apple orchards, hops and cherry blossoms also feature on this colourful sheep sculpture.

Our second design “Raising the Baa’ is all about getting active and enjoying being outdoors! It features lots of sheep playing different sports such as basketball, tennis and football.

The third design we painted is ‘Best in show” which is inspired by the rich and picturesque Kent countryside. It features some of Kents well known farmyard animals, foliage and countryside locations.
