This is leading British sporting and wildlife artist Rodger McPhail’s retrospective collection of his most accomplished paintings and portraits of the last 20 years. As a keen naturalist who has spent countless hours tracking and observing his wildlife subjects, Rodger has selected these works on the basis that they truly capture his fondness and enthusiasm for the natural world. With an extraordinary versatility, Rodger is equally at home in watercolours as he is in oils — a master of the finest detail, his remarkably fluid and evocative paintings pay homage to his impressive and multifaceted career. This sumptuous, hardbound coffee table book seeks to shed a light on how his genius works, and Rodger has concluded the book with a chapter that addresses the questions he’s most frequently asked, such as how long it takes him to paint an average picture, or whether he can only paint when the mood strikes — featured alongside plenty of other stories about his life and his art. Appreciated and sought after from all corners of the globe, his paintings and portraits are to be found in some of the most important collections worldwide.

In "A Country Naturalist's Year", Colin McKelvie records his seasonal encounters with the wildlife and landscapes of the British Isles. From the depths of winter through the year to the end of another autumn, he takes the reader through a richly varied tapestry of habitats and wildlife experiences, from the winter courtship of foxes in the Scottish hills to the emergence of mayflies on a loch in spring, from the competitive sparring of upland ravens and peregrine falcons at nesting time to the diversity of autumn waterfowl and waders on a tidal estuary, from the moorland breeding haunts of golden plover to the arrival of winter migrant birds from northern Europe - all viewed through the eyes of a practical naturalist who also reflects on the wider challenges of the 1990s to the future of the British countryside and the myriad form of wildlife, insects and plants that are to be found there. Colin McKelvie's text is illustrated with over 80 specially commissioned watercolour paintings by Rodger McPhail, acclaimed as one of the finest British wildlife artist of recent times.
