Christopher Little

Art has been a passion for Christopher since he was a young boy in England. While at school he was offered an art scholarship to become a professional artist. Christopher moved to Canada in the Centennial Year, settling in the Comox Valley in 1989. Extensive travels through Britain, Europe, Malaysia, Singapore, Cuba, and North America have provided him with a vast array of subjects and settings.

The statement "variety is the spice of life" is certainly true of Christopher's artwork. With the vast range of subjects that he paints, he is able to appeal to a wide audience. You will see birds, animals, underwater scenes, landscapes, and even a hint of abstract on his canvases.

Christopher tries to not be a run of the mill, stamp them out, kind of artist. With the vast range of subjects that he paints, he is able to appeal to a wide audience.

Christopher employs realism in his paintings in order to bring “art to life” on his canvas. Using oil as his medium, Christopher’s eye for capturing the heart and soul of his subjects is highlighted through his careful attention to detail and use of natural settings. His subjects are captured in natural as opposed to posed positions. He complements his depiction of wildlife with a variety of landscapes.

Christopher works out of his home studio, A Little Oil in Courtenay. His art has sold across Canada, the United States, and Europe. Commissions are welcomed. Christopher can be reached at his studio at 250-334-4070 or by e-mail at vclittle@shaw.ca.
