Thanks for sharing the link Mike - birds are wonderful and I love his landscapes - particularly the skies...and the light - fabulous!
 
Cheers Mike. I've come across his work previously and, although as you rightly point out, maybe not cutting-edge - but I think exemplifies all that is wonderful about celebrating the natural world in paint. He obviously cares for his subjects and cares about how they are represented - lovely.
(Wonder if he's ever seen a Bateman painting???? )
 
some absolutely stunning stuff, but as I'm in a mood I'll point out that I know the photo of the pair of hoopoes - it was the front cover of a photo field guide I had once. Still, great talent, even if 'playing it safe' for the majority of them - I'll add that the barn owl in 'broken lights' is a stunning piece, really really good stuff.
 
It may not be 'cutting edge' but who wants 'cutting edge' (I'm not sure what or where wildlife art 'cutting edge' is, anyway) when stuff is as fabulous as this?
 
Ooh, one of my favourites! Never really got into his oils, but his watercolours are divine. Only wish he'd do more of them!
 
I've known of him through his website for a long while, just thought I'd point him out to anyone who'd missed him. I'm always battling to find ways of painting grass, Mr. Sosa seems to have it pretty much sussed!

Mike
