Rolf Harris -“Dry Country”

Canvas Edition £195
Framed £1295
Canvas size: 44″ x 27″

This is a spectacular country in one of the driest parts of Australia where the rocks
seem to have a blue surface  staining to them – they look incredible. The country is so
sparse and barren that it can’t be farmed and the only trees that will grow are these
- affectionately known as parachute trees. They have lots of tiny branches supporting a leafy
canopy - hence the name.

Paper Edition of 195 -

Framed £750

Image size: 24″x17″

This was painted from a television show commemorating the fact that Elvis would have been 75 in 2010 had he lived. I feel this picture really captures his huge appeal to the youngsters of the day and I love the two girls at the right of the picture, watching his every move with rapt attention. They are absolutely loving everything he does, loving the way he sounds and the way he performs.

Canvas Edition of 195 – Framed £1225 Size: 49″x19″

I illustrated the side of a grand piano for DeMontfort Fine Art, with a long complex scene partly made up from my head, partly inspired by photos of country scenes from Northern New South Wales. These photographs showed a very green landscape, but I had in mind a parches, dry scene mainly composed of reds and oranges. When I had finished it, I really loved it so much that I immediately coated a long canvas with orange paint so I could have the pleasure again of painting a similar scene, but in a more right-angled oblong shape. As I eventually got around to working on it, the excitement of painting the scene on the piano was long months away, but as soon as I started, the thrill was there again. I hadn’t realised that the piano was much longer than my canvas, and so couldn’t duplicate the piano work of art. It was of necessity, shorter, but I think, exactly as much fun to paint. I don’t think it would have worked as well had I made all the paddocks green instead of orangey-red.

Born in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, Nigel Cooke joined the Merchant Navy after leaving school and subsequently has held a number of jobs on the road to becoming a full-time artist.

Nigel Cooke sold his first painting at the age of 14 and joined Butlins as their resident caricaturist and entertainer in 1992. He later went on to open caricature concessions

on Blackpool’s Central Pier and Pleasure Beach, in the Trafford Centre Mall in Manchester, and at Alton Towers.

During this time Nigel Cooke estimates the number of caricatures completed from live sittings to be in excess of 50,000.

Nigel Cooke has also worked as a character designer for the Hong Kong based C.I.M International and remains

a member of the National Caricature Network in the USA, a body he joined in 1996.

“My art is mainly humorous figurative paintings of people interacting. Naturally, this has its foundations in my lifelong dedication to portraiture,

caricature, humorous illustration and character design.” Nigel Cooke
