'Merlin'
Coloured Pencil and Acrylic on black pastel paper.
I hadn't realised I'd been away from my blog for over a month but I have so here's a catch up of what I've been doing.
Patching was successful as I got commissioned to do some work. I don't want to share the details just yet but all will be revealed later in the year.
I don't accept many commissions so I'm now booked up for the rest of the year and have my first one booked for 2014. I'm looking forward to that one as it's a pencil drawing of a game bird.
I've been accepted as a member of the Association of Animal Artists (AAA) and hope to be exhibiting at their Animals in Art Exhibition. This exhibition will be held from 27th July to th 15th September 2013 at Haworth Art Gallery, Accrington, Lancashire, UK.
I've been on several reference gathering trips for both wild and captive animals including visiting Chester Zoo to photograph their delightful tiger cubs.
I've spent more time gardening than painting over the last few days making the most of the sunshine.
I'll try not to leave it so long next time :)
