A few dabbles in the world of art of late. Id been playing around with dog pictures in graphite but I have time to put together a couple of wildlife pieces on paper. Another attempt at acrylics again ended up abandoned half way through. I have tended to have a pencil in the hand rather than a brush but a quick painting of a Water Rail to get me back on track again.

I really like the seal in graphite, great work on the shading.

I have been messing around with non wildlife drawings of late. But yesterday saw a feathered friend develop with the paint. I used decent paper which took water very well. Also slipped in a pair of Phants with graphite

I like the elephants especially. Always nice to see a bit of pencil.

...very adept use of pencil sir.
The Snow Bunting is a lovely wee painting too, nicely drawn.

You have postet a lot of fine work lately, and I especially liked the pastels! The lioness is really beautiful. It's a medium I really think you should explore further.

Very nice Paul.
It's too bad that this forum has become so quiescent. I feel lucky to have been here over the past few years when it was very lively. Though it's easy to get despondent in this field I think that feeling you're part of a group of like-minded, well more or less, people makes you feel much more hopeful about what you're doing.
Hopefully that will return here one day. In the meantime keep working. As I've said before I think you're a natural at this.

Takes me back to April when my local paddocks had a bumper crop of these...great bird and excellent painting...my only advice would be darkening up the throat a bit...I tried it crudely on the computer and think it makes it extra redstarty (!)...

I sometimes think that being disappointed a bit is just part of having high ambitions. They just go together.
Looks goot to me and as I've said before I think watercolor comes quite naturally to you. Keep at it!
