R. B. Talbot Kelly, at present Art Master at Rugby School, is probably one of today's greatest and most sympathetic painters of birds and has, through long and close study, acquired what he would term some graction of understanding of a bird's way of life. His experience transcends a mere knowlede of anatomy and habit or the superficial appeal of colorful plumage and has given him a feeling for for a bird's reactions to its own world; a feeling which can be sensed in the subtle qualities of his work.
The craftsmanship needed to paint birds, he says, is no different from that required for a landscape or figure composition but the thinking which precedes the making of a work of art is special to each attempt. There are many fine reproductions of the author's paintings, of which 16 are in color, are masterpieces of delicacy and sensitive perception in a variety of treatments.
