The happy return of a master! A great pleasure to see you and your work here again. I particularly like that first one. As usual your manner of incorporating birds and environment is wonderful and eye-opening.

Yes, it's good to see you here again, always an inspiration. What an unlikely pair in the last one, and how fluently they are presented!

What a great series... full of energy.

It's very difficult being constructive when trying to view this work through thick green veils of envy - very difficult indeed. Looks like your mini-break has done nothing to stem your creativity - quite the reverse, in fact. A blaze of bright light just flared across my monitor. . . . wonderful stuff.

C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.
Well I hope you do manage to be constructive, I need the inspiration (unless it's another fecking group of eiders - yours just make me cry with feelings of uselessness and desperation, I've NEVER done an eider justice, mine all look like drowning guinea pigs.)
I think the new wave of inspiration in my painting stems from a little epiphany in my personal life, still not completely over the earth shattering event of last November, I've come to realise, I'm pretty ok on my own after all (thank you Shirely Valentine) and now I'm putting all my extra energies into being constructive - even the washing up is done! (bloody hell!) - oh and pendulous little birds help a lot! (and pectoral sands can just **** off!)
ok, back to the painting, back soon with bad photos of what I'm up to - just like the good old times!B

here are the doctored works, some dippers in a snowstorm that's been gathering dust for 3 years, a group of common and wood sandpipers with a temminck's stint and kingfisher from last year (just to remind me I do sometimes see rare birds on that patch, just not the pec) and a female little bittern that showed just before 10am when I'd been at the site for one at dawn, driving through the night in a rainstorm.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry . . . or both. Just wonderful.

Great paintings again!
You're Dippers in the snow really caught my eye Nick...marvelous..!
It reminded me very much of the behaviour i observed recently during a deluge of rain and a large group of BHGulls 'skypointing'....
Always intrigued by the reactions of birds to the elements...:cat:
All the best...:t:

some new stuff - and posting some stuff that you may have already seen on my facebook page, if you follow me on facebook that is. Now back to painting, and then birding in the morning (in the rain, woop-de-doo!)

Unimaginably inventive! I hate to choose just one but that first one really is amazing. You are painting once again with all of your powers - well at least I assume it's with all of your powers but I'll probably soon be surprised by something even better.
