Plenty of artists specialize in painting birds, but Lars Jonsson is undeniably one of the very best, as evidenced by his ability to capture the true look and feel of birds in the wild so beautifully. Sampling 150 of this Swedish ornithologist's more recent paintings and drawings as well as pages from his sketchbook, this lovely monograph contains prime examples of his favorite theme of birds in a wide landscape, highlighting images of gulls, waders, ducks, and raptors.
