	Carl Whitfield Carl Whitfield has been a constant exhibitor at Beckstones Art Gallery for more than twenty years during which time a large proportion of his work has passed through this gallery, earning for him a huge following of collectors. Born in Yorkshire in 1958, Carl Whitfield left school to pursue a career in commercial management but after several years he returned to his first love, painting, and decided to make it his life’s work. Having undertaken no formal training, Carl Whitfield closely studied wildlife and farm animals, spending the next few years practising and perfecting his technique. His main influences were the eminent English artists Grimshaw, Hunt and Herring. Carl Whitfield now paints well-observed traditional farmyard scenes and wildlife in close detail and vibrant tones, specialising in miniature style detailed paintings in oils. His reputation developed as the leading painter of chickens in the country, and he soon added ducks, mice, badgers, red squirrels, foxes, hedgehogs, birds and numerous other countryside creatures to his repertoire. He occasionally paints still life of a stunning, three-dimensional quality. The hallmark of Carl Whitfield’s work is the particularly fine detail and intense rich colours, resulting in a painting of rare quality, depth and great charm. Carl Whitfield paintings are widely collected both in the UK and around the world.                         Carl Whitfield Red squirrel Oil on board 18x12cm £695   Carl Whitfield Barn Owl Oil on board 22x19cm £1,295   Carl Whitfield Chickens II Oil on board 11x11cm £495   Carl Whitfield Blue Tit Oil on board 11x11cm SOLD         Carl Whitfield Fox Oil on board 11x17cm £695   Carl Whitfield Winter Robin Oil on board 11x11cm £495   Carl Whitfield Golden Eagle Oil on board 15x10cm £695   Carl Whitfield Winter fox Oil on board 17x29cm £795         Carl Whitfield Squirrel Oil on board 11x11cm SOLD   Carl Whitfield Chickens IV Oil on board 11x11cm £495   Carl Whitfield Longtailed Tit Oil on board 11x16cm £695   Carl Whitfield Kingfisher Oil on board 20x13cm £650                     Carl Whitfield Blue tit Oil on board 11x11cm SOLD   Carl Whitfield Pheasant Oil on board 16x12cm SOLD   Carl Whitfield Goldfinch Oil on board 11x11cm SOLD   Carl Whitfield Puffins Oil on board 15x20cm SOLD                           Carl Whitfield Barn Owl Oil on board 33x23cm SOLD
