Suffolk artist with Parkinson’s says diagnosis gave him drive

“When I first started painting I just did it for myself,” Mr Haslen explained.

“I drew things I was interested in like aeroplanes but I’ve always lived in the countryside and I’ve always been interested in nature.

“I eventually started drawing birds and animals but it wasn’t until I showed some [paintings] in the pub one Friday night and someone offered to buy one, which I couldn’t believe.

“From that point, I used painting for extra beer money, nothing more than that.”

The artist said his career progressed from there when he developed his own style before going on to become one of the UK’s leading wildlife artists.

In 1988 he was also elected as a Society of Wildlife Artists member.
