Lana – I hope you don’t quit art … As someone with no artistic talent other than photography, I always appreciate those with talent and you’ve got talent

In contrast I can’t get enough bird art. I am always fascinated by someone’s ability to render realistic bird form in painting or drawing. There are as many different styles as there are artists but Jonsson is one of my favorites. While we have several good North American bird guides, none equal the artistic effort that went into his “Birds of Europe” book. It is a masterpiece. Just look at his plates on stints and sandpipers. Okay, enough gushing…

Unfortunately I think I’m going to pass on this. I’m on the verge of quitting art completely for the 3rd (& last) time as it is.
