Eee thars nowt wrong wi a bird on a stick lad!

Especially when they're done so well and the bird in question is an owl!

no messing - these have all the charm of some of your older se owls, but now have such confidence, powerful stuff!
 
Quite wonderful SEO's!
I'm very much looking forward to July! I might just bring out something which you mix with water and makes nice colours!

Thanks folks.

A rare excursion into planning; a small cartoon for a full sheet watercolour already in progress.

cartoon nonsense! this is great!But still looking forward to see how you improve on it. You can pack more colour into a female eider than anyone.
 
well the planning resulted in this;
. . . and a small watercolour sketch of eiders and a l-t duck which may turn into something and a pastel sketch for a sharpie idea I have in mind.

The cartoon is nice,but the light in the final piece is very ,very beautiful..Those two Eiders wont stop revealing themselves once and again,for the piece is perfectly developed from the original formal ideal into the true soul of a moment..
Congratulations,and many Thanks
 
Planning paid off Tim. It's great to be able to compare the cartoon and the finished painting. And the new eider sketch looks like it has a lot of potential.
 
Haven't done one of these for quite some time . . .

Click to expand...

it's all kicking off again

I did wonder with the white wingtips whether this years Icelands had started nesting in your shrubbery

but it's quintessential Common Gulls- something about them with their cleanness that puts them in another world: as if the white bits on a Common Gull are somehow the whitest of all, even than your Ivories and all
