Artist Jonathan Pointer talks about his inspiration

I love Jonathan Pointer's intense, colourful and detailed portraits of game birds - and I'm always fascinated by the detail in the surroundings. He must spend hours painting every little leaf and flower, getting them not just botanically perfect, but correct for the time of year too.

The video above is released to promote his upcoming exhibition at the Jonathan Cooper gallery in Chelsea - well worth a visit if you're in London between 20 May and 5 June.
