Very fine work again Andrew. You use ink so well. Great bird too - any news on its welfare?

Tim it vanished the day after I saw it, suspected snuffed it or predated, since it didn't reappear anywhere else - if it was fit I'm sure it would have found it's way to the dead whale on the beach at the north end of South Uist that's providing an a la carte menu for 12-15 glaucous gulls at the moment.

Thanks for the kind words on the thread that Tim started! Hopefully, I'll be able to visit a bit more often. Here is a recent desert southwest painting of a gambel's quail and some pancake pear cactus.

Tremendous painting Peter, and many congrats on the recent award, which in my opinion, is very richly deserved. Great to see pieces like this, truly wondrous painting...

Super work Maria, Andrew and congrat's Peter on your award again.

Here's a 5x7 of a singing song sparrow...

wonderful solidness and substance to the ivory gull Andrew, a really beautiful bird.

love the sparrow peter - you really are living in Wonderland at the moment, magical tiny 'landscape' around the bird.

Your standards never slip Peter, I love the mosses and lichens that give the branches so much texture and allow a small peep into the bird's world. I think you and I share the same views on the beauty of the everyday as witnessed by detail.

Another small b&w sketch I stumbled across whilst trying to get some other stuff to work......

Cheers,
Andrew

now this is really charming, each one an individual.

Another fab observational pic Andrew - the tiny catchlight in the rear bird's eye suggesting an alertness whilst seemingly at rest is a very fine touch.
Hope you can keep unearthing them.

wow Maria, I really like this - you strip the canvas down to its bare essentials, such simplicity says so much.

 

[timwootton]

Very elegant. It looks like you had a lot of fun with the background.

 

[ARTHUR BISHOP]
