Superb work, Arthur. The sketches in particular garbbed my attention. A species I've not yet had the pleasure of sketching, but I'm sure this autumn/winter will provide the opportunity. They must be a treat to draw, with that crest and simple plumage pattern.

Your paintings are always delicate and beautiful and I can think of few birds more suited to that than waxwings. This latest is already shaping up to be a top class piece of art.

PS. When you're finished admiring the waxwings in your garden could you have a quiet word with them and let them know that there are some cotoneaster berries in mine?
 
Love that first waxwing pic in post 1836 Arthur....:t:

ps...i haven't seen waxwing yet this winter....hopefully it won't be too long...!
 
Been sidetracked so not much more done
they are a pleasure to Sketch Russ. back end looks like a whale as it reaches down for beeries.
Fleeting visitors Mike very skittish.

This is really taking shape very nicely - great packed composition - just as they are as they take a breather from gorging and sizing up the next bush to strip. Cracking!

Have to agree with Mike about a perfect blending of artist, subject and style!
