    A great selection, Louise. What are you doing in the middle one? Do you normally work on a vertical surface or do you work horizontally on a large table? Is the caption for this photo correct? It talks about the 'Flaming Flamingo' in the background but the most visible bird is the one on the wall behind you. ;o)

    in the middle photo I am installing the work at Heide. I make the work vertically on the wall and then they are backed with anothr layer of tulle and foam core laying flat on a large table. the two birds in the back ground are Flaming Flamingo (after John Audubon 1838) and Ellis' Paradise (after Ellis Rowan 1917) cheers
