About the artwork
Jonathan Walker’s Shoot Host is a quintessential example of his witty and characterful approach to contemporary sporting art. The central figure — an impeccably dressed canine host — is rendered with Walker’s trademark blend of humour, warmth and technical finesse. Surrounding the portrait, lightly sketched vignettes of field‑sport activity add narrative depth and a sense of tradition, creating a composition that feels both playful and steeped in rural heritage. Works of this calibre, especially in watercolour, remain highly sought after by collectors of modern sporting and anthropomorphic art.
