Just beautiful Arthur! Perhaps it's just as well it's not a tapestry. I don't think tapestry has ever seen such glowing colors before. This would set it off in a completely new direction! Beautiful colors. Beautiful and creative design. I think one of your best.
 
superb how you've hidden the bird in full view - he's right there, but the zingy colours and patterns really make him part and parcel of the background - very, very well done! Very strong design and colours.
 
Just goes to show, you dont need to slap on lots of lipstick to be beautiful...

A very beautiful painting it is too. Love the clever use of colour and design, a full frame bird that blends in perfectly with it's surroundings, just as they do in life. A top piece of work this....
 
Thankyou all . Im'e getting to grips with Gouache now.

Some sketches from last week .
A nice early walk from Weybourne to kelling Beach and this fellow hunting from the fence posts a half an hour of pure joy.

oooh, if these barnies are in chronological order, you can see how the drawings become much more familiar with the time spent drawing (not saying the first page is bad, because it's superb, but it's clear there is excitement and fumbling there) it's just the last page is phenomenally fluid and confident.

Nice to see another bird peeping out behind a post, we should really start a thread of birds peeping round posts!


Now, onto one of the finest bits of art so far this year - sundrenched pheasant - a fascinating shape, and a totally unfussy, pleasure of a piece of painting as is possible!
 
very nice Arthur,

I especially like your lines in the thrid picture along. Nice and sure but still demonstrating the softness of plumage.

coming on very nicely Arthur, if I may, just be careful of the wire in the fence, unless you put a collar on the bird! You certainyl are making the most of your audience with the tyto.
