The Piece
This exuberant composition feels alive from edge to edge. Animals emerge and overlap within a mosaic of luminous color - a blue dog mid stride, a red fox seated in quiet profile, birds and smaller forms woven through blocks of coral, turquoise, lemon, and rose. The painting pulses with movement, as if each creature carries its own rhythm yet belongs to a shared world.
There is a joyful looseness in the way the figures are rendered. Lines curve and bend with confidence, while layered washes and textured passages create depth without heaviness. The space feels intuitive rather than mapped, guided by instinct and emotional clarity. It is playful, but never careless.
The title speaks to inclusion, and the work embodies it fully. Large and small, bold and subtle, every form has presence. Lesley’s spirit is unmistakably embedded in the canvas. Her warmth, curiosity, and affection for animals animate the entire surface. All Creatures Great and Small becomes more than a painting - it feels like a celebration of connection, imagination, and the generous energy she brings to both her life and her art.
