Oh yes Arthur - the female is superb - catches the attention, just as she should!

nickderry · Jul 3, 2008

beautiful, those feathers look so inviting.

The textures are great as Nick rightly points out, and she's a real cutie. Quite the perfect parents! You've really caught their character with this delightful family portrait.

Perhaps my all time favourite of yours Arthur (although the stonechat sketch sheet takes some beating) - I think here the focus of attention is brilliantly tailored - the drake's slightly nonchelont glance towards the real action, then the maternal scooping up of the young'uns by the gorgeous female - quite superb, really. Tugs at the heart strings (got anything to do with the fact that grandson's just gone home?).
Take a bow, and a double Islay for good measure.

ARTHUR BISHOP · Jul 16, 2008

Thankyou all three of you. Had a few days off not doing much at all.
Down Cley yesterday Harriers everywhere

desgreene · Jul 16, 2008

Nice field sketches Arthur.

Also, I missed your latest Shelduck from last week. That is a lovely piece of work.

nickderry · Jul 16, 2008

Some sketches of the spoonies

Could you get any more confident with your lines? WOW, these are superb, clean and full of movement - I doff my hat to you!

No mucking about, just straight in with the lines that matter, great stuff.

Hello all just been enjoying this gorgeous weather here.
a little water colour,
Six Spoonbills over Cley.
Not sure if it works though.

nickderry · Jul 26, 2008

works for me, apart from the fact I haven't seen spoonbill for 12 and a half years!

timwootton · Jul 26, 2008

The positions of the birds' wings creates a really strong sense of buoyancy. Great pic.

ARTHUR BISHOP · Jul 28, 2008

Thanks gents
Still enjoying the weather and a scruffy young Jackdaw

timwootton · Jul 28, 2008

Just a tad unfair posting that view and a B100DY PARASOL!!!! What the heck's that for, Arthur? Up here if we see that bright orangy thingy in the sky we phone the M.O.D.
But the young daw's a little beauty, mate. Just the ticket!
