Steve Longhurst is a self-trained artist with a passion for painting.

He has dabbled in a variety of media and materials and enjoys the challenge of capturing fragments of life on canvas.

Steve particularly enjoys animal portraiture but his keen eye for detail allows him to capture almost any scene, real or imaginary, with vivid detail and a strong sense of character.

With strong water-colour commissions or pencil illustrations now being reproduced as prints, Steve's varied pieces enhance the walls of many friends, family and colleagues. He has also undertaken for them portraits of houses, cars and gardens - both in colour or black and white. Some of Steve's work has been also been reproduced as T-shirts and decorative place mats.

The Little Gallery website is Steve's first foray into the web and hopes it will allow him to make new friends and create fresh opportunities.
