Remembering my friend Richard Forrest, a marine reptile expert, with a week or two of marine reptile artworks. I'll start with this old acrylic painting, called The Wreck, which I created for Richard back in 2004. #SciArt #PalaeoArt #PaleoArt #Dinosaurs #Alt4Me #MarineReptiles #JurassicWorld
I'm sticking with the marine reptile painting theme for Fossil Friday. Here's an old acrylic painting of Liopleurodon and Metriorhynchus, called "Killing Breach". #FossilFriday #SciArt #SciComm #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #Pliosaur #Pliosaurus #Dinosaurs #MarineReptiles #JurassicWorld #Alt4Me

The first mural I ever painted (1997) was at the Dudley Museum & Art Gallery. Part of the mural featured a pliosaur; I reworked the pliosaur pose in my 2009 "Leviathan" painting for The Etches Collection. #SciArt #SciComm #PaleoArt #Pliosaurs #Dinosaurs #MarineReptiles #JurassicWorld #Alt4Me
Two old ichthyosaur artworks exhibited in #Birmingham (UK): the 1996 piece was my very first acrylic painting for a museum, & the 2016 piece was my very last acrylic painting for a museum (I now paint digitally). #SciArt #PaleoArt #Ichthyosaur #MarineReptiles #Dinosaurs #JurassicWorld #Alt4Me
One of my oldest acrylic paintings, featuring Kentrosaurus. Can you tell that Doug Henderson was/is my favourite artist? #SciArt #SciComm #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #Dinosaurs #Stegosaurus #Kentrosaurus #JurassicWorld #Alt4Me
