Which is that one, Nick?

I think it's this one, but I haven't seen it yet.

Yes, it was these sanderling that really struck me first time through. And they still do! Along with the flying terns and gannets among others. All in all a huge breath of fresh air. Just what art should be.

Wow!! Been a little too long since I checked in here, and now my head is spinning from a veritable blizzard of astounding pieces! Jaw-dropping good.

hurriedly painting - no time to think and no time to fiddle too much - in theory, that will make for better pictures. Here's a little crake from a surprisingly successful twitch!

many thanks to one and all - it's been so lovely to come and read all these messages whilst slaving over cottage pie and chocolate cake for tonight (just so you don't think I'm having a day off - I'm on my third beer and have also the start of a wryneck with yellow cow parsley type stuff scribbled down)

LOVE THE LITTLE CRAKE. Little cake. Chocolate crake.
