Wonderful, wonderful Least Sands Ed, really do like it. It is just great to look at and really keeps the eye moving. As fine a piece as you hve posted here Ed.
Having just seen my first Stone Curlew, nice to see this. Agree the altered piece is the better, a very nice piece in its own right, the sketch is fabulous though...

shrewd comment by Russ- one of the disciplines I set myself to maintain with the Leasts was to keep their colours slightly muted as in true Least, not treating myself to adding in all the the lovely golden and chestnut fringing of a Long-toed

All the right ingredients brought together and expertly handled to give a fantastic result. It has style, movement, colour, design, great birds and it's a direct response to a personal experience. You can't get much better than that!
I adore the treatment of the row of background trees, masterful!

Wonderful piece, Ed! Nice to see the swallows here - we are having such a cold, wet spring that the swallows are much fewer in number than normal and I would expect they are having a tough time making a living. The weather pattern is forecast to continue now through the first week of June.

hello all- a week with no paint on the move: I feel rather guilty, which is healthy I think...
but I'm still wrestling with how to get a sense of stone curlew (the last effort was a bit too close-up and doe-eyed)
squeezed in a bit more watching today, waiting successfully for the pair and chick to get within same field of view as a fallen birch for background, but haven't quite got a new paint project on the go
meantimes here's a Little Owl doing the boingy thing from today
