More Birds: Paintings of British Birds

Description

A beautiful collection of bird paintings from Sunday Times-bestselling author Jim Moir, the artist formerly known as Vic Reeves.

Jim loves birds. His popularity as a painter has soared in recent years and the simplicity and sincerity of his bird paintings have given them cult status among his fans. Small enough to fit inside the pocket of a cagoule, More Birds is bursting with new paintings each accompanied by a fact. Do you know why the Chough has earned a reputation as a firestarter? Or how many pairs of Peregrine Falcons are nesting on St Paul’s Cathedral?

Following Jim’s bestselling Birds and his Sky Arts series Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy, this exquisite volume of paintings will delight everyone who enjoys looking at and learning about our beaked and feathered fellow travellers.

'Jim doesn't just see birds, he looks at them, so intensely that he understands them. Not just anatomically or behaviourally - he knows how they feel' Chris Packham
