hello all: here's current work in progress, trying to catch my favourite little Green Sandpiper pond in a slightly more controlled painting style
there's 7 Green Sand planned to go in, drawn waaay too big in the initial mapping out-but when re-sized might go for 2 in the in the water and 5 camped out on the bank, the band of 7 all constellated in the shape of plough as pic #2

Ed,
That is some beautiful reflective composition. Punctuated by some living land. With the Sun beating down.
Can't wait for the "Twee-Wee-Wees" to drop in. For this would surely entice them down!
A big fan you have found!
Magnifico!
Great to see it in stages also!

I was quite tempted to put this one in the done pile after three minutes of scrubbing and splooshing at it- but the middling brush and the middling colours were all lined up and ready for action so I resolved to show a bit of discipline and press on in controlled mode..

hello all
slightly bogged down in the green sand pic, but by happy chance had a chinese takeaway to collect from round the corner last eve, so I dropped in for another look and a lovely moment as a green sand gently bumped a snipe off favoured mud edge
so I'm musing on whether to rope that into the painting- a little working out below, with snipe in brown pencil, sand in green then torn and glued together with sploosh on top- green sand grabbed and finished off on the computer by way of bonus feature

As above. Lovely piece of observation. Two cracking species to work with, could be another painting to wave from the rooftops Ed. Look forward to the end result..

a brief intermission on painting, but I did sneak out birding over the w/e for long enough to enjoy a wonderful wryneck with a redstart's placid eye just inches behind wryneck's beady not placid eye
then distracted by a King Eider which is not a very Suffolky thing to have to contend with- it managed to cover 10 miles drifting south on the flood tide travelling at walking pace and so far as I could see not paddling once

how do you know he walked 10 miles did you walk too?
haha if only - chased by car down winding coast roads. I did do the full walk once in 1977 for a Baird's Sandpiper but have not attempted it since...

I think the sketches can be waved from the rooftops as is. Hope to see the painting there soon as well!

C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.
now that's a showy wryneck! I've become familiar with the way they flush more so than what they look like as most of them I see just spring from the side of the path I'm on and disappear. How are the white-arsed knights coming along? (as we call Tringa ochropus in French)
