Egrets from The Past

Reading at Susan Cornelis’ post this morning, I was suddenly remembered of quieter times of my life when I spent many hours watching at birds in different places from euripe… it was of course before I met my Rocker Kev Moore, since then, I have hardly time to spend observing birds… he hasn’t got the necessary patience to it!

Anyway—once I even started a kind of sketch book about the birds I saw…I spent some time searhcing for thta book todat, as I have paintings and sketch books all over the places, and hardly keeps notice where they are. But here it is, the first drawing featuring some  egrets from The Delta del Ebro?Spain and  Les Dombes/France. But these are  all “petites aigrettes”, little egrets, while I think the one in Susan;s post is a “grande aigrette” (sure you can do the translation yourself!)

This second sketch is just a “copy” from a book about birds, kind of…

Portrait of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)

Still following the paintings orders from my rock musician partner Kev Moore.. rock musicians are really wonderful subjects for me and I deeply enjoy the colours and attitudes.

Soon I will start a series about Michael Jackson… I am so incredibly sad about his death, I still can;t face and believe it, when I see him dancing… more than anything, it is what i admired in him.
