Also chuffed to get my entry accepted for the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year Award and Exhibition.

More masterful stuff, sir. Will you be taking in part of deepest, darkest South Yorkshire, Tim? If so, just let me know when and where!

. . . only briefly Russ - but by wild coincidence we'll be camping at Greensprings!!!

RussB · Saturday 7th April 2012, 15:35

Right! May I come and pester you for a field sketching session?

Still inspiring me Tim.

Various projects are keeping me occupied at the moment, but I'm still popping into the forum for regular shots in the arm.
A couple of recent pieces developed from an encounter with one of the hundreds of short-eared owls loping about the county at the moment.
Just every now and then I get an urge to do something verbatum . . .
I present "a bird on a stick x 2"

Excellent as usual Tim, how's the work going for your exhibitions?

colonelboris · Thursday 19th April 2012, 12:44

Especially like the first of the two there, startled expression and all.

I've gone back and forth on these but have settled on number one as well. There's such a facial expression.

nickderry · Saturday 21st April 2012, 19:36

no messing - these have all the charm of some of your older se owls, but now have such confidence, powerful stuff!

RussB · Sunday 22nd April 2012, 17:39

Quite wonderful SEO's!
I'm very much looking forward to July! I might just bring out something which you mix with water and makes nice colours!

timwootton · Wednesday 25th April 2012, 18:05

Thanks folks.

A rare excursion into planning; a small cartoon for a full sheet watercolour already in progress.

nickderry · Wednesday 25th April 2012, 19:41

cartoon nonsense! this is great!But still looking forward to see how you improve on it. You can pack more colour into a female eider than anyone.

Jane Turner · Wednesday 25th April 2012, 19:46

I love that Tim

timwootton · Thursday 26th April 2012, 16:30

well the planning resulted in this;
. . . and a small watercolour sketch of eiders and a l-t duck which may turn into something and a pastel sketch for a sharpie idea I have in mind.

mayoayo · Thursday 26th April 2012, 20:41

The cartoon is nice,but the light in the final piece is very ,very beautiful..Those two Eiders wont stop revealing themselves once and again,for the piece is perfectly developed from the original formal ideal into the true soul of a moment..
Congratulations,and many Thanks

solitaryVSong · Thursday 26th April 2012, 21:54

Planning paid off Tim. It's great to be able to compare the cartoon and the finished painting. And the new eider sketch looks like it has a lot of potential.
