Thanks. Been a bit absent from art for a long time. Hope 11 days re-visiting Menorca soon will kick it back into touch. Really would like to get back on the Art Forum and contribute again!

These piggies are fab - as was your short film. Very intense and there's a lot of that retained in this lovely piece.

welcome back old bean
the hogs are great- reminds me of an album cover: something about their line-up and youthful swagger

Had a good job finding my own thread! :eek!:
Woah! I was so busy sorting this life out, that I had no time for coming back here. For that I do apologise, and hope to be a regular correspondent once again...
Did 3 Hoopoe acrylic canvases in November. Hope they bring you all some Balearic Sunshine in these dark days...
Results below...
In the meantime, I wish you all luck, love and joy in 2013. And a happy season of Mid-Winter.:t:B :king:

Untitled Is Unfinished!
MAGNOLIA WARBLER W.I.P. #1
Well well. Hello again. It's been a hectic and not always agreeable 11 years since I last posted on this thread.
Since that time all sorts of curved balls have been thrown in my direction. So, the ability to keep this thread going drifted away, unfortunately.
Two years ago, I moved to Pembrokeshire, West Wales, and life has slowly begun to unravel again in a better way.
So much so, that I've felt comfortable enough to revisit the sanctuary of birding and putting birds on paper. This was kick-started again by having a very rare bird turn up on my local patch. And my desire to put my impressions of it into an artwork - to pull it apart and piece it back together again. Just like I used to do.
I remembered I had a thread on here in the past, and considered starting a brand new one. But the original thread had 30 pages of history in it, so, rather than starting as a newcomer again, I considered it might be beter to use that as a re-introduction to who I am, and what i do.
I'd forgotten how much joy drawing & painting birds had given me in my life. After all these years I am happy to be here again.
I hope you enjoy the new stuff I will be doing, and can look back at some of the past stuff and enjoy that too.
So, without further ado?
I'm currently working on a composite piece based on my intimate encounters with the Magnolia Warbler at St Govan's Head, Pembrokeshire.
The first noodlings of it appear above, the rest as it happens...
Work in progress, but I soon hope to have it finished, and am debating whether to do a limited print of the finished article, depending on any interest generated.
It's good to be back at last. Hope you are all doing well?
Phil
