Wonderful recent charcoals, the manxies and Red Throat are standout pieces for me, great to see these. You obviously enjoy these and it shows in the finished work, also feel these will really contribute to future colour work with regard to tonal range and the impact darks and lights can have in a piece...

Thank you so much. I heard unofficially last night (wasn't there, of course) and had to wait til BirdWatch updated their website today for confirmation. One of the longest nights of my life - and it's not really sunk in yet.
And I hope this doesn't sound ridiculously sycophantic, but I honestly wouldn't be doing what I am today without the help, support, encouragement and valuable critique I receive from you fine artists and people on a daily basis.
People who have known me and watched my work develop for many years have commented that it seemed to go up a gear a few years ago - that time almost exacty coincides with when I joined this Forum and started to get excited about art again - the first time for many years.
So a genuine Thank You to all who have contributed. I'm truly grateful.
Now - where's that bar we opened back in 2006 . . . I could just do with a pint, or three . . . B

you dipped out bigtime by not attending, if the report is anything to go by:

Attending the award were birding luminaries... Other famous visitors included former MP Michael Portillo and British comedy actress Una Stubbs

I'm just going to sneak in quietly here and mumble a few barely-audible apologies , , , ,
The ANF visit to Sark was one of the highlights of my professional career to date and, besides the work I produced during my stay there I also wanted to make some considered studio-based work. Having finally completed a mass of illustration work (which shall remain un-posted) and a few commissions- I've now completed two large charcoal pics from the trip.
Gannets and skerries off the Silver Mines Coast, Little Sark (34"x22") and Peregrine at Le Coupee (22"x35").
