Glorious birds, first-class art
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Basil Ede has a painterly eye and a craftsman's approach to painting birds. His water colors are remarkable for their fidelity to nature. Every feather is delineated, every pose natural, every background authentic. Mr. Ede's water colors are now collector's items, as he has been unable to paint in that medium since his stroke about ten years ago. Amazingly, this right-handed artist taught himself to paint left-handed and now produces oils that are, if it is possible, better than the water colors of his youth. If you like birds, you must own this book.
