Chris Sharp produces work that reflects the beautiful Scottish landscapes and the wildlife that inhabits it. His specialty is in the area of game fishing and field sports. His very impressive attention to detail, factual representation and fine workmanship is based on his keen personal interest in all of that which he paints. He is a keen fisherman and outdoor sportsman.
The inspiration for his paintings comes from the Scottish Highlands. The unique light conditions and colours often dictated by the Scottish weather produce beautiful atmospheric landscapes and backdrops which remain quietly untouched by man.
