Book Description

Signed on the pre-title page by the author who also illustrated the book with his artwork. This book of paintings and sketches of birds and wildlife in Norfolk begins in the early spring, continues through the summer and concludes with the first signs of autumn. There are chapters on Barn Owls, Bitterns, Adders, breeding birds of the grazing marshes, Nightjars, Tawny Owls and the return passage of the waders. These are woven together with a further series of topical paintings. James McCallum is an artist based in North Norfolk. He is a graduate of The Royal College of Art and is best known for his watercolour paintings of the natural world, particularly birds, made outdoors from life. Working directly from nature has enabled him to develop a thorough knowledge of the visual language and behaviour of wildlife in its chosen surroundings. Illustrated throughout by colour paintings. This book was limited to 1500 copies & is now 'out of print'. Illustrated throughout by colour paintings.
