nice studies, I love the canada greylag hybrid (or is it barnacle?), I think they're the best looking mongrel geese in the world. The barnacle is pretty sharp too.

Beautiful! The sketches are lovely, and so is the painting. Every time I come close to a diver, it dives and surfaces two miles further away. You were lucky with this one!

Beautiful Arthur. You and Tim are doing a wonderful job with them. I've always had the hardest time with their American counterparts. But they should still be abundant here too so I hope to go out and find a few to sketch at some point today. We once had one overwinter in the garden but it's been years since we've seen one here for more than a day.
