Itchy feet
Hope you get better soon Tim. Barbed wire is evil stuff, I've had a few run in's with it in the past - I hope your tetanus shots are up to date.

And don't worry about me - I'm a tough old boot. (I just cry like a baby, that's all).
Cheers - Mine's a lager with a straw - cheers Matt, Elizabeth.
Good morning, artists!!!
Too early for alcohol, so it will do with strong coffee to wake me up! But I will accept a more interesting suggestion by you later...
Tim, do you see how many people is worrying about you? :loveme:
But surely Sally's golden hands will heal your wounds soon... if she can revive a just hatched chicken she will do miracles with her husband's hands, won't she? I'll be back later to see what's going on here at this studio, I'm only a spectator but I feel terribly attracted to this thread. Cheers everybody!

Love that horse Tim. Funnily enough I've been mulling over ideas for paintings which would feature domestic livestock (mostly goats but horses, sheep and cows also feature on the list). Wherever there's livestock there's birds it seems and I like the idea of painting the birds as an integral part of the agricultural landscape alongside its inhabitants. Too many ideas and not enough time!
Hope your hand's feeling better today BTW.

A little less ouchy
Thank you for all your concern, my hand is a little less stiff and throbby today - so I'm running out of excuses not to get some more work done (thank you Marian! - and by the way you don't have to be an artist to contribute to this thread - the more opinions the better, in my opinion).
Woody - I wondered if you would like to see this - I'm also a poultry keeper and breed traditional breeds occasionally - here are 3 of my birds, a Marans and 2 Light Sussex.

Glad to hear you're getting better.
I've viewed the poultry painting many times on your website, I like the light especially. My sister kept chickens for a while and I used to look after them while she was away on holiday, they're engaging creatures and provided us with a whole heap of fun one day when they got out of their run and had to be rounded up. That was before breakfast and the eggs they also provided were eggstreemly good that day too!
I'm off to plan the next project, I dont want to rest on my laurels as they say.

They are "only" hens but this painting left me gaping... it looks so real! I fear to repeat myself but again must remark the deepness and 3D sensation of your drawings, Tim. The perspective in the pieces of timber and the shovel (is that the correct English word?) is admirable... but I think what I like more is the way you've got the hay all around. I used to draw and paint many many years ago... and I think I would have NEVER in my life get it as you did. Wonderful scene of the daily life of hens!
Woody, congrats for selling the rookery painting, I'm not surprised either you've got it as it was a wonderfully done scene!
Bye for now!

One Hair of the Dog for Tom (what were you on by the way) - I can offer a nice blended whisky with water with a glass of beer - should sort you out just fine. I know it's early but I may just join you - just had to fetch the kids back from school - the Churchill Barriers are closing so the kids are sent home (only just got rid of the little Bu . . .er, darlings.

Almost at the end of working too much! Sunday will be 17 shifts in a row, covering for two mates on holidays in Australia and Thailand, neither are birders!! Got myself a new pair of bins, a pristine pair of Zeiss7x42 BGAT Classics to replace a pair I had stolen in Thailand a couple of years back. Chomping at the bit to get out birding as a result...
perhaps should mention I am a bartender by trade Tim, so if you want to pop out I can hold the fort at the ever burgeoning bar there!
I can just see the sign on the door....."GONE BIRDING; BACK LATER"
Good job the clentele at your establishment are so understanding!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! - I always knew you were my kinda guy!!!!
So that's it sorted, whenever I'm away (which is nearly always) you're in charge of alcohol distribution!
Good man - have a black one.

Ooooo - interesting
Having planned a morning working in the garden digging trenches for the polytunnel cover and an afternoon watching footie, I was delighted to meke a hasty change of plan. Paul Higson (a fellow BFer and all round top bloke) called to inform me of an avocet in the East Mainland. I know many of you in Englandshire and other parts are probably fed up of seeing avocets now - here in Orkney they are a huge rarity (the last record being some 12 years ago) so this delicate little bird has caused quite a stir.
So my next large painting will be - answers on a postcard . . .
Here are some drawings made from the car.
