THE ARTIST'S STORY

The Happy Badger

The Happy Badger by Mark Sands

Artist Mark Sands primarily works with oils as his main medium to create his Trompe l'oeil paintings and murals, and this private commission playfully captures the passions of Arthur "Boofy" Gore.

Its colourful tableau brings to life Arthur's commitment to the protection of badgers, along with his speed-loving wife, Fiona Colquhoun – the "Fastest Granny on Water" – powering along Loch Lomond in the background.
