    The Abstract Bird

    I've been thinking of some theme for a new thread to replace my old one, Reviving Ken's Art. Finally I decided that a title that gave fair warning of my abstract tendencies might be best. So here you have it, The Abstract Bird. As anyone who has followed my old thread knows though I'm always...

    Visuals As Music

    Username's comment regarding Clyde Apevig on Ed's thread today reminded me of how much I've always thought that way. That was really true in my abstract work and it still has an affect today in my naturalistic work. In any case I was reminded recently of how much I used to love, and still do...

    Master of Birds in their Environment - Liljefors (and Vivaldi)

    http://www.wildlifeartjournal.com/blog/244/bruno-liljefors-the-revolutionary-enigma.html A 'subscribe' dialog box will pop up but you can close it and go the article and video of selected Liljefors works below. Seems quite appropriate after the talk of birds and their environment. Nice to be...

    Speaking of Black and White

    There's been a fair amount of interest in black and white shown here recently so I thought this link to David Sibley and his use of scratchboard might prove interesting: http://www.sibleyguides.com/2011/02/ink-on-scratchboard-technique/

    Speaking of Audubon

    Er, I guess we weren't actually speaking of Audubon. Still his work is always striking and Julie Zickefoose has been able to look at some of his originals and is blogging, intermittently, about it here. It's a nice opportunity to see some of the details of the work, and at least for me be...

    What tornadoes can do

    I know that at least a few people here are familiar with artist Debbie Kaspari and her blog drawingthemotmot. So I thought you might be interested in this: her house, artwork and trees all wiped out by a recent tornado.

    Thought someone might be interested in this slideshow of how David Sibley http://picasaweb.google.com/sibleyart/FerruginousHawkPainting?feat=email#slideshow/5426189010291812050 paints. I assume most of the people here know who David Sibley is but just in case that's not true: he wrote and...

    A new scope for sketching

    I decided to open a new thread on this though my guess is that it will be short-lived. Still people might revive it from time to time with new thoughts and questions. It seems to me that most people here have scopes and use them in their work, though I may be wrong. For me I know it's really...

    Ordered ED50, Received ED60

    Partially based on all the recommendations for ED 50 here I decided to order one, though I knew that I might run into problems with eye relief since I wear glasses. To my surprise I received an ED60 with 30X WA lens. I have two weeks to return it. I had debated getting a 60mm Fieldscope but...

    revivingKensArt

    Hi, I've been led to this site and specifically this forum by Jo, after commenting on my own blog about how much I liked the work of Nick Derry, which I just discovered recently. So for the last few days I've been poking around here. What a pleasure it's been seeing so much good art! Oddly...
