Angela Davidson Animal Art

Creating artwork of farmyard animals is one of Scottish artist Angela Davidson's passions. However the majority of her early commissioned artwork was in creating portraits of dogs. Dog art featuring Labradors and border terriers was the mainstay of her commissioned breeds, but as her career developed, cattle became an equal focus.

Close-up studies of cows, calves and bulls feature heavily in her expansive limited edition print collection. But it was her most famous bull painting titled The Black Angus (created in 2009) that gained her artwork of cattle real notoriety. This large, original pastel was followed a few years later by another incredibly successful Aberdeen Angus bull painting she titled Mr A. Both of these original pastel artworks were reproduced as limited edition fine art prints, which quickly sold out. Large copies of these very rare giclee prints now sell for thousands of pounds.

The incredible success of these earlier cattle paintings gained Angela a commission from the Canadian Aberdeen Angus Association, and a large copy of that original artwork now hangs in the Association's main building in Alberta, flanked by similar sized pictures of The Black Angus and Mr A. Angela was also commissioned by Britain's own Beef Shorthorn Society to create an artwork to commemorate their 200^th year as a society, and the original piece was presented to HRH Princess Anne in 2022.

Fine art prints of Highland cattle are another of Angela's strong sellers. One of her studies, High Fibre, features a Highland cow which was created after an invitation to visit the late Queen Elizabeth's Highland cattle herd at Balmoral.

Clydesdale horses are another of Angela's favourite art subjects. The various horse breeds available within her expansive print range always proves popular with the equine art-buying public, especially as Angela's selection of fine art horse prints grows in number every year.

Bespoke commission work consumes a large amount of Angela's year, as her detailed and incredibly accurate portraiture of horses, dogs and cattle ensure her fabulous animal artwork is always in demand.
