I did a quick draw of one of my player's pets. I call these Opal Curlews (they're really similar to the Pearl Curlews found one Faerûn)

'The wind is hard from the west,
a skein of voices in it, thin but clear
as curlews’. Their songs’ rising
crests the brown moor and flies.'

Far Eastern curlew[ホウロクシギ]

絶滅危惧種であるホウロクシギ。
だいぶ私なりのアレンジが入ってしまっていますが、
こうやって絶滅危惧種の動物たちに絵を通して興味を持ってもらえたらいいな。

Happy National Curlew Day. Here are four of the five curlews we have in Ragleth Gallery ; sadly about the same number as are in the hills around Church Stretton.

It's World Curlew Day on the 21st April!
There's fewer than 400 pairs left in Wales, they'll be extinct as a breeding bird in 10 years if people don’t care for them.
What can you do:
- Report sightings
- keep dogs on leads at breeding time
- support groups working on them

A bit of lockdown watercolour sketching for World Curlew day , April 21st . Hope all are okay,- sketching is a great activity to take your mind off things

Morning lockdown birders. Today's is the one most close to my heart, the Curlew. Born & raised in Haworth (100 years away from the Brontes & 10 miles away from Ted Hughes) I wandered the moors listening to 'the curlew’s tear turned its edge on the silence' . xx

Was really looking forward to surveying the Northumberland Curlews this Spring, just have to hope that a silver lining might be a good breeding year with the moors being undisturbed, watercolour sketch. Take care all

My Dartmoor foals Swift and Curlew now age 13. Painted this early in the morning fighting anxiety. Doing art combats anxiety as it engages our creative intellect which then pushes anxiety away

I often despair over watercolour, but sometimes rejoice - this started as a Curlew 🤔 but then an Eider emerged! Calling it “Eider on an icy sea” 😉 It tells me best results when subconscious takes over, just let paint wander. Many thanks for the feedback, have a good night all👍

Wimped out going out (again) so out with the paints. Still on the snow theme, a Heron in an icy landscape, w/colour, and a Curlew at the coast, blustery conditions I imagine today.
Have a great week all, many thanks for interest in the artwork 👍
