Oooh

Just realized, someone gave me some stars! Thank you!

This really deserves to be seen by others besides the postman! Can't you do another onto board - same style and colours - really lovely. Remeber - Christmas is just around the corner!

Love this, lucky postman!

100% improvement. Great work! The waves are dynamic and add so much more.

Just managed to finish this in time to get it framed for me Mum's Christmas present - she's been dropping heavy hints about getting a painting for some time now - and since the original sketch was done from her kitchen window, I think it might go down well.

 

[timwootton]

Oh!!!!!

 

[timwootton]

Sorry - I 'd better elucidate. Oh! wow!

 

[spizaetos]

It's a real beauty Dave!
It's always fascinating, how a sketch is being transformed in to a piece of art!
I'm sure Mum will treasure it for ever!

[Dave B]

Thanks to one and all!

As a bit of light relief from the Greenfinch, here's a quick impression of a Goldcrest seen this afternoon.

 

[nickderry]

they never fail to charm, love this drawing.

 

[dryslwyn]

Dave- especially love your drawings and that sign is just great :t:

 

[timwootton]

Goldcrest - Spot-on!
Also, I forgot to mention earlier that your avatar scares the shut out of my youngest - ha ha. I now 'threaten' he with 'that face' if she's ever naughty!!!!
Oooo-er - it's not a self portrait - is it?????

 

[Woody]

The greenfinch painting is a smasher! I bet your mum will be as pleased as the greenfinch looks! I'm now totally jealous of your handling of greens, I always find them so much trouble.

Goldcrest is just charming too.

Ha ha - it's odd what different folks fiind scary huh? An explanatory word - I came across this fella mounted on a tree in a wood in Michigan on my only trip to the States a couple of years ago. I thought he was tastefully bizarre, and actually, as Ed will testify, does bear a passing resemblance to one of my earlier incarnations!

Here y'go. Now THAT'S scary!

 

[dryslwyn]

I should say so |8.|

Had to dredge back four pages to unearth this thread!

A couple of recent efforts following Ed's inspiration with .gif files, aiming to show the effects of wear on wader feathers (any guesses as to their owners?).

The next stage of this mad plan is to try to show a whole bird in moult progression!

Cheers
