Noticing Colour
04/11/2008 by James.
I couldn’t resist adding this photo… I think I can sometimes take peacocks for granted when they are wandering about at zoos and gardens begging for a bit of your sandwich, and I know we all often take our native or garden wildlife for granted, but when you stop and look closely at the colours and markings on a peacock, or even a starling, they are just amazing… it helps remind me in my work that ‘Natural’ colours and materials aren’t always muddy brown.

Zoo Sketches
04/11/2008 by James.
There’s good Zoos and bad Zoos, and when they’re good I think they can play an important role in education and conservation. They also give me a chance to re-inspire myself by making a visit to take photos and draw some of the beautiful animals kept and bred there.
Today I was at The Cotswold Wildlife Park nr. Burford, Oxfordshire, making quick sketches in the cold, getting back into drawing and getting away from the computer.
