Hi Arthur

I reckon you've done a grand job,the whole flock looks nicely ''arranged''
on the page...not one bird looks out of place.

Matt

ARTHUR BISHOP · Sunday 18th February 2007, 23:11

thankyou Matt, my one fan, arthur

ARTHUR BISHOP · Tuesday 20th February 2007, 18:40

This is an image that has been stuck in my head for ages. Coming off the East Bank at Cley late evening, when this Barn Owl floated across over the corner of the reed bed.
24" x 18" Acrylic .

Lovely Arthur - Just a perfect image of place and time.

Hey Arthur, nice one, did I start a trend?! I sure hope so, I love to see barn owls anywhere; in paintings, photos or in the field. One of my 'local' barn owls hunts over reed beds just like the ones in your pic, you've made me want to get out there to see him now.

Who could resist a barn owl LOL

Really like how you've painted the reedbed-must have taken an age!!

Would that be walsey hills in the back ground??

Matt

ARTHUR BISHOP · Wednesday 21st February 2007, 16:56

Hi Matt. no its not Walsey Hills . It is looking back to the coast road , the plantation the west side of the East Bank

A veiw from Salthouse Beach. Acrylic 16" x 20"

That's ace Arthur - the tranquil landscape under the clamour of geese - superb concept - well executed.

ARTHUR BISHOP · Sunday 25th February 2007, 21:50

thankyou master

ARTHUR BISHOP · Sunday 25th February 2007, 21:53

water colour done on return

timwootton · Sunday 25th February 2007, 23:03

The sketches are great Arthur - funny that you should be drawing this B&W bird whilst I was doing another B&W one. More to come later - but thanks for the maggie drawings - i miss them a lot.

peter mathios · Sunday 25th February 2007, 23:45

I already posted in the gallery regarding the new painting - beautiful! Love the magpie sketches too!! Looking forward to more...

hi Tim I think I dont have to guess your next b/white bird after one of our breeding species which called in. unless you straighten the bill and paint it orange

ARTHUR BISHOP · Monday 26th February 2007, 09:01

glad you like Peter , I never stop doodling

ARTHUR BISHOP · Tuesday 27th February 2007, 10:50

a good exercise.

timwootton · Tuesday 27th February 2007, 11:13

Fantastic Arthur (great title, too) - I think the fact that you've done so many on the page 'at the right scale' really makes this sheet superbly accurate for jizz. The viewer's eye keeps jumping about and finding the next pose - it's ace!

ARTHUR BISHOP · Wednesday 28th February 2007, 20:29

Black Headed Gulls on the wing

buzzard12 · Wednesday 28th February 2007, 21:57

Nice flight sketches! Not seen a lot of that on the forum!

ARTHUR BISHOP · Friday 2nd March 2007, 17:31

from the sketch book

peter mathios · Friday 2nd March 2007, 18:56

You've been busy!! Love the sketches... The wren pages are awesome - They are always moving! The gulls are my favorite though. You really have an understanding of the anatomy of flight.

Very well done!
