It includes some juvenile drawings and watercolours by the gifted boy who was fascinated from a very early age by the natural world, and examples of his work at Oundle and at Cambridge. His love of sailing is represented, as well as his wartime Naval paintings and his book illustrations. Here are philosophical works, portraits of people, drawings of animals and flowers, and preliminary sketches, in addition to the well-known oil paintings of birds and some of the artist's own comments on his work. Here also are the original designs for the well-known World Wildlife Fund panda and The Wildfowl & Wetlands trust logos. This is a wonderfully designed book, in which the paintings are reproduced to the best possible effect. Some facsimile pages from Peter Scott's illustrated diaries are included, as well as more formal art." Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
