New Zealand Birds: An Artist's Field Studies

Raymond Ching's first book devoted entirely to paintings of New Zealand birds is an event. The book is both his most notable single set of bird studies so far and a revelation from the point of view of New Zealand bird painting, of intuitive recording and of an artist's fresh view of he most familiar natural scenes.

78 pencil studies and 69 paintings in watercolor and oils are featured.

Raymond Ching holds a unique position in New Zealand wildlife art, for the technical brilliance and lively spirit of his work have made him one of the country's most widely known and respected painters.
