Thanks for my mention as well. And for that previously unknown (to me) Leonardo bird sketch.

I hesitate to mention that my name is misspelled (Januski not Jahuski) because I’m sure anyone who follows the link will see the correct spelling.

Thanks again for the mention and for paying attention to all of us nature artists. I just noticed Julie Zickefoose complimenting Debby Kaspari on sketching lesser prairie chickens and not immediately reaching for the video camera. Sometimes it is difficult to try to capture nature, and especially nature in motion, through sketching so it’s nice to see that appreciated!

@Liza – As far as i know neither of those blogs are in the NBN. But they’re both excellent and should be. I particularly like Bird by Bird.

@Val – My pleasure. Thanks to you for sharing your stuff with all of us!

Thankyou so much for the mention! I am honoured to be up there in the company of such excellent artists(especially Leonardo)and what a very nice observation you make about illustrations in general and the different eye they bring to a subject. Thanks again Val

Perhaps they’re not in the NBN . . . but they should be! but Toni Kelly of a Spattering is also a fab nature artist (http://kellyinkstudio.blogspot.com/2009/04/mourning-cloak-and-lily.html) and then also Bird by Bird (http://www.magpienest.org/birdbybird) does a daily sketch of birds she sees. They are both wonderful!
