Original Painting of a Gargoyle Gecko (Rhacodactylus auriculatus) by Wildlife Artist & Online Art Tutor Paul Hopkinson
Gargoyle geckos are a small nocturnal species, and native to New Caledonia, a group of islands between Australia and Fiji. They are characterised by bony horn-like bumps, gargoyles, on their skulls, which has led to them also being known as Knob-headed Geckos. They have a prehensile tail, like a Harvest Mouse, that they can use as a fifth limb. However, they are able to drop their tail to escape from predators, and will then regrow it.

Packaging & Materials
I have used an excellent quality watercolour paper and the finest of brushes to produce the tiny details which bring this painting to life.
The painting will be carefully wrapped in cellophane and protected with additional packing. I aim for my originals to arrive with you in the same condition that they left me. I use the Royal Mail’s ‘Signed for Next Day’ or ‘International Tracked’ service.
A bit about me
I am a full time professional artist based in North Devon in the United Kingdom. Specialising in wildlife - animals, birds, insects and botanical studies, I love to capture the life within my paintings. I very much enjoy the process of working with the watercolour medium to create fine detail. My portfolio is ever expanding and many of my paintings are available as tutorials - both written and video. Take a look on my channels, and you may see this painting being created, maybe even have a go yourself!
Thank you for browsing my work, and I look forward to hearing from you.
