I can only agree with what the learned gents have already said, that's beautifully bold work Maria.

Another fab piece Andrew - this technique really works well, both for the subject and the environment. Great stuff.

 

[Woody]

Great illustrative technique Andrew, tough medium to handle as well as you do.

Mike

 

[nickderry]

great feel of strength in this one.

Beautiful Andrew!!!

Here are some recent miniature paintings (not quite daily paintings anymore, but 'as often as I can paintings' instead)

 

[Woody]

Delightful stuff Peter, I particularly love the foliage echoing the shapes and patterns of the hummer's wings and the tranquility of the pintail.

Another cracking selection of work Peter - the pintail is one of those images at which you excel - fab little composition and a well controlled and expertly selected palette. The moulding on the bird's underside shows your knowledge of the species - great stuff.
Nice bright, cheerful hummer and woody - perfect antidote to the winter weather and two more moody scenes to compliment them.

 

[desgreene]

Tremendous stuff Peter. I particularly like the Shoveler.

 

[nickderry]

knocked me off my seat - tremendous!

 

[Greg Butler]

Awesome!

The joint thread was relegated to the second page and hasn't been visited since March 6th.:-C I think I'll breathe some life into it again and hopefully more often... The image sizes should actually be reversed from what is shown. Autumn Interlude is a larger painting at 18x36 and features a flock of pintail (again, I know, but I love to paint pintails) and took a long time to paint BB , the cardinal is 9x12, and the gull is a daily painting - 5x5. I may do a series in the same style as the gull, but with different bird species.

peter..they are all stunning!!!! mark.

 

[nickderry]

a big thumbs up for all of them but especially to the cardinal which is one of the reasons I really want to get over to the States at some point. Just gorgeous.

Peter, the pintail piece is so wonderfully serene (and I love the layered complexity of the landscape, so much too see without being too fiddly or detailed -- phenom!). And the gull is beautiful in its simplicity. I've been working on a cardinal myself today, I'd forgotten how frikkin' awful a colour red is to work with!

 

[Woody]

Good to have you back Peter.

All three are beautiful but the pintail flight is pure Mathios, brilliant!

Mike

 

[peter mathios]

Here are a few more. The shovelers are for a duck stamp competition in California. The other two are smaller daily paintings - a 4x4 and 5x5.

 

[mark richards]

they are all clear winners to me peter.....
