Love this Emma - colours are fantastic and the way the stones work with the feathers is great.

It's beautiful, Emma, and right up my street. I love how you've portrayed the social aspects of sanderling life. Bri

I love this. It is a good, honest, unpretentious watercolour. Reminds me of Tunnicliffe's work.

Thanks Rupert, that’s a very generous comparison. Though this is definitely one of the paintings that I am happiest with.

There’s a little spot on our beach - romantically positioned behind the sewage outfall pipe - that stays dry at the highest tide and is a refuge for little waders like these sanderling. They have a preen and a bit of a snooze until the tide goes out, but there’ll always be some keeping guard. They’re so small - about starling size - that people walk past and don’t even guess they’re there. They come every winter from the Arctic. Watercolour, 14x10". This painting won a St Cuthbert award at TALP 2020.
