I am working on the new Hill & Heathland Birds title at the moment, and have painted a few new species. Golden Plover; Redstart; Crossbill; Red Kite and Woodlark and Great Grey Shrike to finish. I am working on my paintings in a job lot and moving from dark to light (on the most part) … Continue reading Peregrinations
Peregrine Falcon, and a Magpie

I really wanted to try something that was less green and wooded, and these … Continue reading Peregrine falcon…again

We very occasionally get them hunting pigeons on the stubble fields behind my house which is just the most amazing spectacle. I like this painting as I have … Continue reading Peregrine falcon
