I feel very flattered from your comments, thanks a lot!
Summer is finally back, and I used the chance to visit the zoo , hoping to complete a half-finished Golden eagle watercolour..
Here it is....

Just incredible. There's so much perfectly observed detail here. Form and structure, texture . . . and light . . . and life - amazing.
 
Many apologies for my long absence , it was because of my regular Illustration work ...tight deadlines!
This time I tried my luck working with acrylics in the field, not easy at all...

Brilliant! Also - must have missed the peregrine somehow - wonderfully brooding look, captured expertly. There's a slightly less-finished feel to this piece which I like very much indeed. Excellent work - genius.

Particularly like the Peregrine. It has the look of a real individual, observed while he seemed deep in thought.

Yep, stunning drawing Pascallis, love the way the feathers on the breast have been drawn and shaded. There is a fantastic understanding of depth here, as there is with all your work. Beautiful work...
 
There is a very nice sense of weight and heft to this new one that I think must come from years of experience drawing animals, esp. mammals. Like Timi I enjoy the looser quality of the brushwork as well. I enjoy the light as well but most of all I have to say it's that wonderful sense of weight.
 
Thank you all for your kindness! After two months of absence, I managed to spend the whole morning today at the Nymphenburg park in Munich following a tip of a good friend about a roosting Tawny owl ...
I couldn`t wait longer and I didn`t regret it!
It gave me great views looking through the scope..

Attached, the finished study, Bic pen as usual...
