Lot No: 2 - Ref No: 022 Wet and Dry By Robin Armstrong Summer Holiday Home: Yelverton Carpet Company Robin was born in Basingstoke, Hampshire in 1947 he grew up in North Kent. He was introduced to wildlife from a young age and drawing started his career as a junior in a London commercial art studio. As time went by his obsession with wildlife and art grew and he moved to the West Country in 1969 and took up full time painting and drawing firstly living with Ewan Clarkson (writer) and his family near Newton Abbot. He had several successful exhibitions in and around Dartmoor, this was followed by the publication of five books including the bestselling 'Painted Stream' life of a River Warden, a job he did for ten years, looking after the River Tavy and Dart, here he gained much knowledge and first hand observation of Otters in their natural environment. "It goes without saying that the success of my 2017 Moor Otter 'Ripple' will have influenced the follow on design for Otter and Cub 'Wet and Dry' which illustrates the amazing transformation of our European otter as it deals with life both in and out of the water! In the model the female is decorated showing the fine hairs formed into little wet spikes repelling the cold water and allowing the insulating under fur to remain dry and warm, all that is required when the otter exits the river is a good hearty 'shake' and all is good. Some otters can vary in colour from the norm and young cubs are primarily fatty until the guard hairs are properly grown, some otters will play for hours in the highly oxygenated water without getting the inner fur wet." This Otter is a 'Golden Otter' - one that has been specially selected by a panel of expert judges as being particularly stunning. Of the 81 Moor Otters there are only 25 Golden Otters. These Golden Otters will take their online bids to the live auction on Saturday, 2nd October 2021 at Bearnes, Hampton & Littlewood, Okehampton St, Exeter. You can continue to bid on these otters at the live auction in person or online.
