I believe simply going for a walk with my family, binoculars and camera to be one of life's greatest pleasures. It provides the opportunity for so many important things, one of which is watching and photographing birds. This has led to many of my favourite drawings, and while I normally draw the more exotic sort of mammals when it comes to birds I feel able to create pictures of any and all, from sparrows to owls and flamingo's. Birds are truly fabulous subjects for art.
