ABANDONED. What's the name of this book?

[Yinwai]

I remember reading a book when I was young. It was about an artist/painter who was lost in the hills/cliffs/mountains, and people were looking for him. I remember the cover of the book had a bird (puffin or pelican?) sitting on top of a cliff.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Moved to Unsolved.

Please put genre and plot details into your header/title. We also need to know around what year you read the book.

Group Rules are in the box at the top of the group's home page (see little green links to the right).
