Fabulous work as usual Peter - the mallard will be a cracker when finished (it's not half-bad as it is ) and this sparrow is a little gem.

 

[nickderry]

superb little pics - even tiny can pack a punch!

 

[peter mathios]

Thanks! Here's a couple more tiny ones...
Unfortunately, the camera has changed the true colors and even some of the value changes in the water in the harlequin duck painting, but it still gives the idea nonetheless.

Ahhhh - Harlequin; my number 1 must-see bird, beautifully brought to life here in this exquisite wee painting. Thanks Peter.

Love the harlequin Peter.....what a bird...! :t:

amazing duck and painting, the water is so well done it nearly made me seasick...perfect little work.

 

[phil baber]

Wow!

And the power behind that Bald Eagle composition is really quite something!

Harlequin is gorgeous!

 

[sfrissell]

Great pieces, Peter. The Harlequin struck a particular chord as I had just seen one last Thursday in Yellowstone National Park--a single male swimming just below LeHardy Rapids where Harlequins have frequently nested.

The mallard is finished.... the water went through a few revisions and although the changes may not look like much they took a while...

 

[Lykos]

beautiful...i love them all

friendly greetings Gaby

 

[peter mathios]

Thanks! Here are some more... Now that the kids are back in school, I am working on doing some more of the 'daily paintings'. These are three of those - the largest ones are the bear and the pintails at 5"x5" and the cardinal is 4"x4"

 

[solitaryVSong]

Always hard I think to get a cardinal to look fresh. But this one does. Very nice painting.

 

[colleenc]

cardinal is a beauty, and so small, that red just sings

 

[peter mathios]

Thanks! Here's a couple more... a 5"x5" of some sanderings I saw a couple of weeks ago and a black-capped chickadee - a common sight around here.

On another note, I've been getting frustrated with the way my camera reads the colors in my work so I've tried doing subtle tweeks in a photo program. Of coarse, how that translates from my monitor to your monitor is anyone's guess. If anyone has any photography pointers without buying all of the fancy lights, etc. let me know. I've tried high overcast skies to bright sunshine to polarizing filters. Only occasionally does the camera read it exactly right... perhaps I'm just being too picky

 

[phil baber]

Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!

Gonna have to go on a holiday to consider how BRILLIANT these are!

Thanks for showing us these wonders!

BRILLIANCE!!!
