Wootton Art 2012 (2 Viewers)

Just with reference to Ken's recent postings about dragonfly art (very beautifully done, may I add) I thought I'd stick these up here. Last year I was lucky enough to be invited to visit the beautiful island of Sark with the ANF and, although birds were passing through and offering interesting opportunities for fieldwork, I found myself gravitating towards a somewhat more macro approach . . . so much so that the locals took to describing me a s 'the one that draws insects' - nothing could be further from the truth, being a complete novice at bug-life (from life, anyway) - but they are accessible and they do often behave 'properly' for an artist, which is quite unlike the way birds can be.
Anyway - bugs from life;

Exactly. I happened to briefly see a Red Admiral while out today and thought of your sketches. But he was gone before I even could think about getting out the sketchbook.

I really do like the idea of drawing insects from life and it's nice to see such fine examples.

As far as the double entendres downthread......... I think it safest to let them be.
 
As a BirdForum moderator I am kept fairly busy, so it is always a pleasure for me from time to time to take a leisurely stroll through your awesome artwork threads!

Thanks, Tim!
 
Tim has very kindly donated a number of illustrations from past Orkney Bird Reports, together with a few more bits and pieces for sale on e-bay in order to raise funds for the Orkney Bird Report.

Some have just gone on e-bay - Tim Wootton Orkney Bird Illustration - and more will follow over the coming weeks.

All profits from the sales will go to the coffers of the Orkney Bird Report in order to help with production costs etc.

This is an incredibly generous gesture by Tim and I expect you all to be even more generouser when bidding !!!!

Many thanks in advance for your bids - let battle commence !!!!!

Dropped a clanger and forgot to list them internationally . . . will get it right with next batch on the 23rd. If any "foreign" bids make it through will invoice you with p&p etc.
