Hi Tim
i just had a good look at your studio photo

Happy Birthday Tim,B B

just dropping in for them waxwings again- they really are in a different class: so many waxwing pics are mostly grey, mostly brown or distorted so you can see the red and yellow on every bird: then there's these which are so rich in greys and browns but so balanced

and its your birthday- congratulations old bean

happy birthday :t:

 

[timwootton]

Thanks for the good wishes.
It seems waxwings are everywhere art-related at the moment. I am scratching through a canvas at the mo trying to remember what One actually does when One paints. Not easy, is it . . . .

 

[Woody]

Damn fine waxwings Tim, they are you at the top of your sketching tree. I've not even seen one this winter but those sketches are alive enough for me to feel like I have.

And I hope you had a good day yesterday B

Back to this canvas this afternoon for a couple of hours. Parts of the piece have come together as planned and I think this one's worth revisiting when time allows. I'll consider this a study for a future piece, I think . . .

Nice mate - like the limited palette, works well indeed

Sounds good Tim. There's an incredible sense of movement here, with almost every head turned in a different direction.

 

[nickderry]

not sure what more you could want from this piece - it's got it all - sheer class.

 

[Woody]

Does this need 're-investing' in?

It looks like a perfectly finished piece to me! Loads of movement and life, stuffed with character and all magically translated to canvas with the deftest of brushwork.

Beware the inner fiddler!

Your birds always seem so solid and rounded, occupying real space with their presence. I know what I mean, even if that doesn't make any sense!

 

[colleenc]

great work so inviting in its soft muted tones. but full of light with the bg, interlaced twigs just right support and don't compete with them.

 

[jacquot]

Love it!

Sheer class those waxwings.....[and i agree with Woody...'beware the inner fiddler']....:t:

ps...oh...and a belated 'Happy Birthday'....[so how old are you now Tim]....?

 

[rockfowl]

Really lovely piece Tim, I think I'd echo the others and especially User, beware the inner fiddler!

Just been watching some myself this morning, welcome birds on the local patch.

 

[timwootton]

Thanks folks - I shan't fiddle with this one - I'll save that for the next one
48 and counting, User . . . .

 

[Keith Reeder]

Thanks folks - I shan't fiddle with this one

You do, and I'll cut yer hands off!



Seriously Tim - it's magical just as it is.
