Espens pictures (1 Viewer)

Prolific and very nice collection of sketches, Espen! What a great start at birding and bird art at quite a young age. Keep your interest for this going and you will go very, very far! Looking forward to seeing more.
 
just did a couple of acrilics of bewicks swans...

the 3rd pic is actually a photo but it is quite arty so i posted it anyway, i was walking over a icy puddle and when it cracked some big bubbles came to the top, and i took a picture of my reflection in it and it was only after that i realised my dad was in the pic too!(sideways)

Nice to see the swans here! This time of year, the area around where I live, and just a bit north, hosts great numbers of wintering swans. Our species, however, are Trumpeter and Tundra. A Bewick's would be cause for much excitement here!
 
Upthread there's a very smart drawing of an osprey - lovely lines here Espen and really nicely drawn form to the bird. The common tern sketches are very nice too. This bubble reflection pic is intriguing - I like the image of your dad striding purposefully off-set. (what is it you're doing here? - playing a transparent oboe, or drinking a yard of ale?)

Nice job on all these, Espen! Always fun to see which birds are rarities elsewhere. We have Lesser Scaup on almost every pond in our area in the winter - including the pond tucked right between the grocery store we frequent and a number of apartment buildings. The first two, however, are definitely not found in our neck of the woods at all.
 
quick sketch from a photo of a bittern from slimbridge y'day, fantastic bird!!
