Bird illustration gifts for my 50th birthday
Dec 11th, 2009 by andrew skeoch
I have just celebrated my 50th birthday with a lovely gathering of friends and family at our home.
What I want to share with you here are two delightful drawings gifted to me by dear friends.
The first is a work by Prue McAdam inspired by a recent trip to Mutawintji National Park – a characterful portrait of two Apostlebirds.
You can see from this photo how well she has captured their quirky spirit!
Secondly, this playful illustration from Trefor Prest, a somewhat idealised representation of a morning recording birdsong. I wish it was always like this!!
Trefor is a talented sculptor, who’s imaginative work embodies a playful sense of fantasy and whimsy. I think you’ll enjoy taking a few minutes to view a gallery of his work on his website.
