Avocet & chick - pencil drawing by Peter Lagrue

Avocet & chick is a pencil drawing by Peter Lagrue, featuring an avocet parent and chick; the latter taking its first steps. Drawn only with pencils, this drawing is on Bristol Board. The framed piece measures 54cm x 44cm.

Since Peter was a teenager he has had a love of birds and the natural world, and his drawings are his way of expressing this. Living in Kent, Peter recently retired and now is able to spend time doing what he loves; birdwatching and drawing. Entirely self taught, Peter uses just pencils to draw birds, mostly from Britain and Ireland, showing the beauty and wonder of these amazing creatures.
