With apologies for the lack of any meaningful posts on this thread for the past several months - here are a few pages from the sketchbook from a few weeks ago; waxwings are among the most wonderful characters - something I've been tryig to catch with these drawings ( a post-mortem opportunity also presented itself, but I don't have the study to hand at the moment).
With best wishes for the New Year to all.

Welcome back Tim! Good to see you posting again. Waxwings are beautiful birds with wonderfully graceful lines. I see several paintings in the groupings in that next to last set of sketchbook pages. Thanks for giving us Yanks (who apparently won't see your book until June!) something to "tide us over".

Right way up again
I like the Waxwings - it's a style I've never been able to do, but would like to.
I think your book might make a very nice birthday present for Mrs Boris - hopefully Amazon will send a copy out this way as they often won't post to Australia for some reason.
Cheers,
Tony

A pleasure to see your magic touch again, Tim, especially with the watercolors. They're always an inspiration. Happy New Year!

If Amazon won't I'm sure Tim will
Still waiting for my copy :-C I'm beginning to go off my postie :smoke:
Picked my book up from town yesterday and it's an absolute delight! Much more than a "how to" book, it's a celebration of bird art in all its forms. It was a pleasant surprise to see contributions from so many of the Birdforum artists too.
A fantastic achievement, Tim, and bound to become a classic.

Great to see you posting work again, Tim, oh, and a happy New Year to you.
I'll echo what you say about the waxwings; I had my first sketchbook experiences with these delightful birds a few days ago - watch my thread!
First rate stuff as usual, and I love some of the suggestive shapes you've captured; I quickly noticed how long-necked and pot-bellied they are when they reach over for a berry or a preen!

Ps - Comments re the book are simply glowing. I'll be getting meself a copy on pay day!

Yes, it felt like we already knew the contributing artists as friends rather than Gods who can produce amazing works of art
