A 20 minute walk from where I lived at the time. In a public park, in Bristol, England! Tried to include the notebook sketches. But it wouldn't fit.Gropper! Of course. Post anything you want here! But FARM your thread carefully. You may want to contain your own history in your "daydreams". So keeping it historical? What I meant was, if any budding artists are scared to post? Then do it here. And, I'm sure, encouragement, and advice will follow from others!Oh! And I 'fess up. Liam sent me a PM about starting a thread. :eek!:That's why this thread is here!So thanks my young friend!I'll say thanks with another attachment...PS If anyone wants more info on the circumstances behind the pieces? I will divulge all here.The Golden Orioles were a family group chasing each other around the tree-tops at Jeziuro Koronowskie, North of Bydgoszcz in Poland. Amazing! The Orioles are my afterword license. The trees are from a photo of the scene. I like trees! Without them there'd be few perching places. And very little to obfuscate a rare warbler!  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
