Original Pastel – Grey Seal Painting "Horsey Gap Seals"
Artwork by Sophie Parkhill | SP Wildlife Art
"Horsey Gap Seals" captures the heartwarming sight of grey seals resting along the Norfolk coastline, where thousands gather during the winter breeding season. From a distance, their numbers are so great they appear like a scattering of smooth stones along the sand. This piece is drawn from Sophie Parkhill’s own reference photos taken in 2022, offering an authentic glimpse into a treasured British wildlife spectacle.
Rendered in soft pastels with great attention to texture and tone, this original artwork brings out the seals’ gentle forms and subtle expressions, against a muted coastal backdrop. It invites the viewer into a peaceful, windswept moment on one of Norfolk’s most iconic beaches.
This one-of-a-kind pastel is professionally framed to exhibition standards, with a triple mount and premium ARTGlass (anti-reflective, UV-protective) glazing, allowing you to enjoy the fine details and soft colour shifts without glare. A perfect centrepiece for wildlife lovers and coastal art collectors alike.
