I have also made progress with the Kingfisher, he has at least an undercoat all over now. I am enjoying the small paintings for a change, although I'm not sure my eyes have the same enthusiasm.

Kingfisher and Bilberries
I wanted some reference photographs of tree trunks with ivy growing up them. Whilst out tracking down suitable subjects I remembered that it was Bilberry season. In fact as I discovered I remembered a bit late. There was plenty of evidence of Bilberries having been there, but they were now obviously residing in someone else's freezer. I did find enough for a couple of pies after a lot of searching in places not designed to be searched.
He's looking terrific, Gayle! What a shame about the bilberries. We've been making strawberry everything here :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy, I really appreciate your comment as I find your miniature work simply outstanding.
ReplyDeleteMiniature work is something that I really an interested in doing. My wife does a lot of macro photography, so I might see if I can use some of her work as reference.
ReplyDeleteI have been working large scale for so long that it actually scares me to work small. Now, how silly is that? Anyway, I LOVE the work you are doing. This Kingfisher is delightful.
Thanks Michael, I am really getting hooked by small works.
