Just pored over your latest sketches, Arth. Goldfinch is done in your admirable, extremely well-observed style, and nice and big too - a man after my own heart! Cock-on poses caught on two sheets - not 10 like me. Great creeper shapes, too, and no naughty elaboration of the hard to see bits!

Thanks Arthur. I have to confess though that now that our weather has temporarily warmed up to the low 40s F if I was to go out birding and a European tree creeper were to land on my head and start pecking my nose I'm not sure I'd be able to tell it from our Brown Creeper. If this weather lasts through tomorrow though I will go out with my sketchbook and try to track one down though.

There's always a pleasure to see, let alone draw.
 
Great sketches, Arthur! Very natural, fluid depictions. You've done a great job capturing the outlandish feet and resulting goofy gait.
 
Surprising what great drawings can be made of the most ordinary of subjects. I've got to start getting out more! If only the damn weather would give us a break!

Masterful moorhens, Arthur! Make mine look a bit 'wooden'. I think I've said it before, there are supreme challenges in the every day.
This is the standard I need to aim for.

Nothing wooden about your moorhens Russ.

Some colour with these sketches.
