Synopsis
In the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s Andrew Haslen spent the autumn and winter months working his faithful spaniel Cally and hunting game with a peregrine falcon named Tassa. It was this bird that Ray Turner wrote about in his classic monograph Gamehawk. Andrew produced the line drawings for this book, and always had an idea that one day he would create a series of paintings to accompany it. Three decades later, during which time he has honed his skills as a wildlife artist, he has combined vivid recollections of his gamehawking days with his ability as a painter to create a new body of work and a new book – one that celebrates a remarkable relationship with hawk and dog: "...it feels as if I am back in the field with Tassa, flushing pheasant and watching breathtaking stoops..." Memories of experiences he had 40 years ago fill the pages; recollections, still vivid, of flying Tassa. The paintings he has produced, in many cases, are not highly finished but are deliberately sketch-like in their execution, giving fleeting glimpses of pheasants, partridges, ducks and grouse as the falcon strikes them. They are studies from the perspective of the hunter and the hunted. New. 300x240mm. 160pp

"Back in 1977, I was given the opportunity to train and fly a Peregrine Falcon. It was this falcon, Tassa, that Ray Turner wrote about in his classic monograph Gamehawk. I produced the line drawings for this book and have always had an idea that one day I would create a series of paintings to accompany it. Thirty years on, and having been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, I decided that if I was going to do this, then the time was now. As often happens with this kind of project, once started it took on a life of its own and this book was born."
