Great works - especially the eider. That is an exciting composition! You've really captured the movement in both the wave and the bird.

Here's a few compositional dawings for a commission. The first two are alternatives and the last is an amalgamation following email discussions with the client.

How 'bout you just do them all! Love that little fellow scuttling up the rock in the foreground of the third sketch.

Nick looks at drawings, Nick enjoys the scene that is so wonderfully conveyed, Nick has a very immature moment as he notices the puffin looking at the shag's crotch. Great stuff!

Cloaca Nick - please. (and note how the owner is proudly admiring it from above! - Oh god - I'm going to have to alter that now.)

Look forward to seeing the final version. It looks a real challenge.
The gannet with its feet trailing behind is an excellent study.

Charcoal eider is amazing and so full of energy! And the latest sketches for a painting, beautiful, beautiful drawings. The previous sketches of gannets etc. reminded me very much of John Busby, by the way.

I've recently taken to carrying a tiny sketchbook wherever I go. This has meant that the 10 minute walk to school with youngest child results in aslightly more circuitous return route. It's been a fine way to start the day at the desk. Most are fairly rubbishy drawings, but the ideas are there for later use.

That made me damn near choke on my coffee!

If only I could produce such rubbish...

Sorry Mike - that wasn't meant to sound like false modesty. What I meant was there are hundreds of drawings in the little books - these are among the best ones.
Have another coffee.

Didn't sound like false modesty Tim, just your usual self deprecation. I'm a big fan of yours and I'd put money on the rest of the rubbishy little drawings being every bit as excellent as these are, and they really are top notch.

Some wonderful little sketches. I assume these are different days, if I did this amount the kids would be waiting a couple of days for me to come back to pick them up. If we got that variety of birds every day I wouldn't get any work done either.

I agree with Mike. I wish my sketchbook looked even a bit more like this!

The waxwings are coming!! I hope we get some down this neck of the woods. Great subjects to sketch as you have shown Tim.

Cheers guys - much appreciated.

I am waiting for delivery of some new canvases so I can start the gannet painting - meanwhile;
Anyone remember the otter painting?
Anyone remember the lapwing painting?
Well, I had a bit of a fallout with both of them and decided they belonged together.

Curious, actually. I just popped back in time to find the otter image and it's exactly a year to the date that I finally stopped working on it - and here it is being reconstructed.
BUT - even stranger, the next painting I did (back in time, if you follow me) was also to re-work a previously discarded painting (seacliffs with hooded crows, this time). Must be something about November for me?

Well I liked both works in progress but if you're not happy I guess I'll have to start looking forward to the amalgamated new pic.
