    turbulent times indeed, but we live in hope for the future I seem to recall Tim once had a studio disguised as a polytunnel, but it was destroyed in wilder times up-thread when he lit up a cheroot during an on-line varnish drinking competition with Nick Derry

    super little trio of Wigeon: your 7 weeks not out in the field makes me a feel little bit better about not getting out hereabouts [although I did see 15 Waxwings from the car yesterday as I cruised into town for the mid-afternoon showing of Gnomeo and Juliet]

    just dropping in for them waxwings again- they really are in a different class: so many waxwing pics are mostly grey, mostly brown or distorted so you can see the red and yellow on every bird: then there's these which are so rich in greys and browns but so balanced and its your birthday-...

    what an all round cheering post still time for you to show us a Bluetail this autumn

    ..he lives! we have to ask what you are illustrating: must be one of those illuminated bibles to have taken you out for this long, not that we had you marked down for the monastic life

    just to second what mr U said you should be proud of the little artists' commune that has sprung up here: twould not be the same and indeed largely would not be here at all without the constructive and supportive tone you set from post #1

    that head (especially) is beautiful

    fantastic- I like the smoke coming out of the nostrils of the right hand one

    you are on a bit of the roll old bean- it's perfect. Like the way you have given just the right degree of prominence to the bovine too- you know its there, but does not distract from compete with the owl.

    Just been in for another look- its a really fantastic piece: and thickening up the bill on the light phase bird was more than a tinker- it has added to the overall relaxed-but-powerful mood

    that's marvellous- if you are able to reveal such mysteries, how many coats o' paint go into for example the breast of the dark phase bird: is it wet into wet and some texture on top, or is it a few more coats than that?

    great verbals on the dog-walker and then last skua pic especially- having them across the pages of that book gives them extra power somehow- I think it must be because it adds to the the sense of them being utterly genuine

    beauteous phalaropus- but in danger of being eclipsed by that Redshank- use of ochrey colour on juvenile's breast is just gorgeous

    Ok- here's the plan- drop in on the summ plum Brunnichs off Hoy today, do us a nice picture, then start the illustration job maybe tomorrow

    especially like this one- less colour in the background than normal for a Wootton?

    them Eider images: restfulness and honesty, a feeling that if da man Woott is perched on a rocky coast watercolouring an eider then at least in that place and for that moment, something is well in the world

    extra brill Ringed Plovers- I think it is the reduced colour that gives it that extra extra bit o' class if that were possible: so just a fraction more filling in on tail and legs of left hand bird and surely you will leave it alone..

    RTD 3 - what a super sinuous beastie and so plainly a real as-seen bird.

    watch out- it could be that bunch of Orcas that round up and eat Eiders

    What an all-round cheering post- hopefully watercolours will be an Olympic event in time for 2012 and you can add some more to the trophy cabinet.

    a bottle of jaeger meister would be very appropriate for da man Woott in the circs I've only been been offline a couple of days (weather in my phone lines and shock horror too much work) and as soon as my back is turned you all win competitions: congratulations all round

    I love that dozing sketch- surely you must be tempted to do a tableau with it just visible between some flapping laundry? Is laundry colourful up in Orkney or mostly white?

    Keep at it, old bean- I agree with others that they have a certain innocence about them, as if they come out if nice old Tunncliffe edition, not some shiny white papered re-print.

    hurry back to your own thread- you are being offered money to draw and paint..
