I agree completely with those praising the Common Gull as one of the most well-proportioned birds around, it has always been one of my favourites - and you've done a very good job with them!

Superb common gulls, Arthur - dextrous handling of the subtleties of the greys and browns.

That's a lovely fit of background and bird. I might add that I'm always struck with how your works-in-progress proceed so serenely and efficiently from drawing out to final execution: are there no angst ridden moments?

Struck me too, like the way you work through from sketch to finish. Been a delight to catch up here, the Common Gulls are wonderful...

Once again Arthur I thought you'd set yourself a very difficult task with the odd, twisting shape of those foreground branches. But as Ed has noticed as well the paintings always march serenely on to a successful conclusion. Another one that's a pleasure to see and ends up with that same serenity.
I've spent two nights recently out on organized 'Woodcock Walks' here in Philadephia in one of the few spots where they're occasionally seen. Heard nary a 'peent' and saw no birds at all. The best I could do was a quick sketched of a stuffed specimen.

Very smart spoonbills Arthur - some beautiful drawings here. Especially taken by the woodcock - great design which really brings the atmosphere flooding out.
