Over 30 years ago Keith Brockie's One Man's Island established him as a leading wildlife artist. In 2009 he returned to the Isle of May to produce this new portfolio of artwork. The island is a paradise for the nature artist, and with nearly 150 drawings and paintings, Brockie celebrates its enormous variety of flora and fauna, including breeding and migrating birds, sea creatures and grey seals.
