Chris Hoy spent of his life Traveling the Globe Studying animals in their natural
habitats, as well in Reserves and sanctuaries and Zoo's. The secret of his paintings is no secret at all! It
lies in experience and observation, and the ability to recognize the essential gestures, postures and expressions and forms
that characterize the animals.Chris Hoy States “ although most of my paintings are executed in the studio, they really start
in the field”.
I believe the most important thing is to observe
the scene-not just to see it superficially but look deeply into it, taking the careful
note of colors, shapes, textures, and the relationships between the objects.”
