[Biography -Robert Greenhalf (1950 - ) One of Britain's leading wildlife artists. He studied at Eastbourne and Maidstone Colleges of Art, graduating in 1971. His work exploits a variety of media, including watercolour, oils, woodcut and dry point etchings. His subjects are mainly wildlife, but also feature domestic animals, and landscape. Robert places great emphasis on sketching in the field and his watercolours are frequently "plein air"; this approach ensures paintings of vitality and authenticity.

The following year he was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists. He is featured in Nicholas Hammond's two books "Twentieth Century Wildlife Artists" (1986, Croom Helm) and "Modern Wildlife Painting" (1998, Pica Press).
