I guess I missed the latest and the greatest!
My mistake!

what an honor to have well earned and deserved...I feel so honored to have watched your work evolve these last few years.
Just in case Mr Modesty forgets, I'm here to name and shame. Our Mr Wootton has not only gone and won yet another award this year, but is also now a full member of the SWLA. I'll let him give the details, but I just wanted to be first in the queue for the celebratory drinks.

Right way up again
Congratulations! And a beautiful job on the Waxwings, too. Really to hope to see some when I move back to Blighty in a couple of weeks.

Many, many thanks. I am again very honoured to have had the incredible good fortune to have been awarded the inaugral Langford Field Sketch Award. And a career-long dream has also been realised with election to full membership of the SWLA, so thanks to Nick for flagging these two milestones up on my behalf. What of course he forgot to mention is that he won the Langford award (the fieldsketch's predecessor) and was elected full member ages ago. We will always be on the catch-up with that Derry boy - but he sets us all the highest of bars and drags us screaming and kicking by the bootlaces to greater personal achievements.
Thanks again.
Now - has anyone seen any waxwings this year . . .

To me, your latest sketches, the Goldcrests and the Waxwings, put you next to Lars Jonsson. That means there are now two painters at the top of my personal list. I am sure there's a lot of hard work behind this, but your gift becomes more and more obvious. You really deserve all kind of awards, and I can't wait to see more work like this - it is such an inspiration!

Congratulations again Tim and thanks for the history of the award. So a belated congratulations to Nick for winning it in the past. I think it's wonderful that there is such an award.
My recent issue of Audubon magazine had an article on sketching in the field. Unfortunately it chose not your book but another new book by an American as the centerpiece of the article. Still I was happy to see some vague appreciation of field sketching going on here. I know that there are Americans who sketch in the field but in my life I've only personally run across a grand total of one! Maybe that will start to change.
And as others have said a wonderful and inspring set of waxwings.

I'll come back to these when my Franche Comté list contains the species! No, enjoy them, never has a bird been so suitable for pictures, be they detailed, cut up into abstractions, eating apples on a lawn or flycatching - the waxwing is the star, and damned nice music they make too. 50km away they smell them you say, I'm going to get in the car and leave a trail of apples!
