Well thanks Tim for your astounding praise. Not sure I deserve the title
of wizard though!!
I'm probably more Tommy Cooper than Gandalf!:-O
Luckily for me the Bite was on my Left hand so did'nt affect
the drawing hand although it made holding the pad a bit awkward
at first until the swelling went down.
Worst thing was could'nt have any Vodka tonics!!cos of the
medication

Steve I will try,... not going to promise though still trying to get
other stuff finished!
Paschalis, I still have a way to go on the Bonelli's but will
keep going on it.
Nick, It was total hell. Like being in a very very nice prison
at times, where all the prison guards are really helpfull and
smile all the time . Arab Clients are great at hospitality
thats for sure!!

last ones , I have to admit to these being done from the comfort
of the studio as its a bit difficult sketching in a force 10 gale and
horizontal rain!!
so these are from memory and some poor shots off the camera.
Checkout the full story from mine and Donna's Blogs.

I simply love your work Andrew and it's a real privelige to see the creation of works which, I'm sure, will live in history. I'm just off to your blog now.

I think it was 'Fieldsports' magazine winter 2007, really good 4 page article with some brilliant artwork including partridge over fields. I confess, I was naughty and read the article in the shop! o

Thanks everyone for your comments . I'm glad your finding the Blogs.
still feeling my way a little with this Technology bit.
Glad you enjoyed the article Woody:t:
I managed to duck out the other day and get some sketching done
only of some local gulls but still an overlooked group of birds.
I need to brush up on my Gull id work especially the ageing
of them.
Working in the studio I heard the wonderful melodic sound of a
Song thrush the other day , I investigated and found it singing
from the top of the neighbours Cherry tree.Such a beautiful sound,
It remained there for a long while allowing some good drawings to be done.
The only thing that stopped its performance was the
the distress calls of a Blackbird . could'nt see what happened
but it sounded like it was grabbed by some thing. I looked
for evidence of a Sparrowhawk but did'nt see anything.
