The Christmas/New Year period has been a bit hectic for me, with commissions to finish, commissions to start and work to get ready for exhibitions, so somehow this is my first post in a while.
With all this new work to create it was time to find some new birds. I found this book tucked away on one of my shelves that I had totally forgotten about.
It was published in 1965 and is full of beautiful paintings of British native birds. So expect a lot of work inspired by this over the next few months. I was wondering about cutting some of my favourite pictures out of the book and framing them up.
Here are some of my favourites today.

| Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Whitethroat |

| Jay - I had a pair of these in my garden when it was snowy |

| Kingfisher |

| lapwing |
The next to last bird has such a nice colour - really flashes against the warm background. Are the colours as nice in reality?
ReplyDeleteI can see how this book inspires you for your birds.
Thanks Jen, they are as nice, even a bit nicer, such a beautiful bird.
