Joel's work portrays a broad spectrum of wildlife. As well as the glamorous "Big Cats" and Elephants, Joel likes to paint wildlife closer to home. Birds, foxes, squirrels and deer all feature in their natural surroundings or as studies.

Joel Kirk set himself a task of painting as many breeds of dogs as are known in this country and all were put into print. Joel Kirk watercolours contain very fine detail which is unusual. It is felt that any original work by Joel must appreciate in value.
