Last Resort Bird Art

Pterodrmas, Great and Sooty Shearwaters. Guache .

    The only reason I have created this blog and gone against my almost pathological hatred of the internet (my only reason- my daughter and others would say something along the lines of being an incompetent /miserable dinosaur!) is that I need a shop-window to display-and hopefully sell my artwork! The "social-media" side I just can't  be doing with. What I am trying to say is that a shop-window is ALL this is, I won't be replying to comments, and if people want to "chat" that is what people do face to face, on the 'phone, or as a last resort via e-mail! It's not just that I'm a miserable bugger- it's as much that I am no good at this stuff- I don't know how to use it, I take too long doing what little I manage, and I don't know the etiquette. This is no excuse for incompetence though, so I am sorry if this is less than professional- hopefully I will improve with practice!
    So having already alienated most of my potential
customers, and shown myself to be a shameful
hypocrite welcome to "Last resort bird art"! The
title is "officially" a massively witty play on the
fact that I live in Penzance, but I think now you
have read this far, you will realise that isn't strict-
ly true- it's far more literal!

   Before posting copies of the "art" in question I must explain that I am doing so without full possession of the facts in some cases- namely the pieces that are currently at BIRDscapes Gallery, Glandford, Norfolk. I will update details when I have them confirmed e.g. gallery price, framed size etc.
   Finally, and most important - I need to thank Tim Worfolk for endless patience, encouragement, and teaching me my rudimentary internet skills, "without whom none of this would have been possible!"- yes folks- it's all his fault!
