Bird Paintings 

I love to draw and paint birds, especially seabirds and waders. I regularly visit the East Lothian coastline, especially Aberlady Bay, to watch wading birds such as curlews and oyster catchers.  I also find watching the birds on Blackford Pond (near where I live, in Edinburgh) very meditative - the Pond is a great source of inspiration for me. (A number of my bird drawings and sketches are currently available in my Etsy shop at www.etsy.co.uk/shop/sheilachapmanart)
