very, very nice work, Tim. Keep it up!

Great work indeed Tim, I think you are probably the finest sketcher I know. Love the way your work has evolved from the start of your original thread to now.

There's no way either of these are backward steps!

Mike

your work just gets better and better, just the perspective view is inventive and interesting

if you are plodding on I must be treading water like hell.

A wee 'break' south now over so back to painting for a one-man show in the Hope, Orkney opening in a couple of weeks . . . . Pursuing the drawing/painting ideas with this curlew and oiks piece (32"x22") and in deference to darling wife and her suggestions to 'do something folk'll like' - meaning 'buy' here are a couple of portraits in acrylic (14"x10").

magic tim its in the eyes head features on these guys fearsome, hope you fared ok across the pond. GEORGE

I'll have to remember that one Tim, 'do something folk'll like!!'. Your darling wife has a way with words.

All of them look good. I think you're getting a little freer with the chalk and watercolor combination. That was something I found just a bit lacking in some of the earlier ones, at least compared to the Sharpie works. But these seem to have more of the same spontaneity and freedom of those Sharpies, at least in my eyes.

And if you don't sell the ones that 'folk'll like' then there's something wrong with the world!

Wise words from the boss :-O I think ive read you dont do portraits nowadays, Im guessing the wife wants you take her out for a meal when punters stole away with a couple raptors under there arms. The Curlew & catchers is a cracker and I would of thought very commercial. I still love your sharpies though. Ive not been on as much of late and missed the Wren pics WOW B

. . . back to safety for this one.

Stunning, gorgeous, sublime!!!

so much to admire and learn from on here- on curlew and oiks (and the ringed plovers in the same style) I was very struck by how you concentrated the colour in the top third

and the restraint in the way you have rendered those falcons- resisting the temptation to pile in with a final lick of dark detail

Doing stuff that folk'll like Tim...!?

I'm sure that with your vast repertoire of works that will not be a problem...:cat:

Falcons excellent....and usually 'bankers'....[even tho that particular group of folks aren't too popular at present]....

All the best....

Tim Honestly youve taken it to another level , i look at a LOT of websites and blogs from most bird artists and can honestly say you are breaking new ground

fantastic

ui....fantastic :clap::clap:

Love the depth on the terns there - the left-hand one especially really stands out.

Many thanks folks - all really appreciated, cheers.
Here's another rendition of one of my favourite subjects. I'm trying to learn from the approach I'm taking with the conte and watercolour paintings and stop just filling in the paper with colour, simply to paint to the edge of the paper. When It's done, it's done - is my new motto.
watercolour 27"x22" . . .
