Thankyou Chaps for the high praise on the Peregrine plates. username the Baker book is one of my all time favorite books and the descriptions of Estuary and valley in there are magical
Hi Mike it's on MDF primed and is 24 x 36cm. I'm wondering whether to leave it be or do a whole lot more to it? Thinking maybe another curlew next to it and one feeding in background or maybe I should leave it be.
'Bakers talent for painting with words'......quite magnificent...!
ps...[and if i can be cheeky for one second]..i attach a photo of my copy with a marvelous illustration on the front cover!
Nice bit of black n white work eh...?
All the best!
I have the same copy and it is a lovely piece of work on the cover! I take it you are the artist behind it's creation.

You make me laugh Andrew....[i just did...honest]!....as if i'm the artist behind that cover..[chuckle]!
ps...you did peak my interest tho and so i just had a look on the back of the dust jacket....and guess what?...that illustration is done from a photograph:eek!:
Now i never knew that!...[well why would i]?...i usually only read the inside of books.....
ps...out of interest...the photographer of 'that' peregrine was a chappy called Baumann...and the design, from said photo, was accomplished by a Brian Price-Thomas...and a fine piece of work it is too!
pss....[all of which you will find out when you next reach for your copy]...!

Doesn't quite have the same 'appeal' does it Ed...?
LOve it all!
But those Swift sketches?

That has made my day Andrew!
I think you must know by now that you are PRETTY SPECIAL!
Long may you continue to be so!
