BIRD LIFE and the Painter
map' R.B Talbot Kelly, at present Art Master at Rugby School, is probably one of today's greatest and most sympathetic painters of birds and has, through long and close study, acquired what he would term " some fraction of understanding of a bird's way of life." His experience transcends a mere knowledge of anatomy and habitat, or the superficial appeal of colourful plumage, and has given him a feeling for a bird's reactions to its own world; a feeling which can be sensed in the subtle qualities of his work." The Craftsmanship needed to paint birds," he says, " is no different from that required for landscape or figure composition, but the thinking which precedes the making of a work of art is special to each attempt. "To promote such thinking is the object of this book. It has been designed to equip the student of bird life with the means for extracting the fullest experience and delight from a subject of tremendous vitality. The many fine reproductions of the author's paintings, of which 16 are in colour, are masterpieces of delicacy and sensitive perception in a variety of treatments. This book will appeal as much to the birdwatcher and nature student as to the painter of birds. order details here

Memoirs of an ARTIST NATURALIST
The world which studies birds has sought out George E Lodge to good purpose. Those who can appreciate this wonderful combination of painstaking and artistic genius have used his paintings in many publications that are known to have the stamp of authority, for those drawings have a two-fold value, they are a delight to the casual beholder and at the same time satisfy the critical eye of the expert ornithologist. Birds and their surroundings are faithfully reproduced. In this book of wide-ranging reminiscence, one is given an insight into the amount of study that each painting represents, for here are glimpses of some seventy years spent most lovingly in finding out.
