Foot's not painted yet Colleen - I'm saving that bit of fun for later.

Trust me Nick - there's been more than a moment or two agonising over how much vegetation I can paint on this piece Some thrift is a possible answer - but I suspect I'll have to do a bit of 'yellow' somewhere.painting the foot??? On cliffs, I believe thrift evolved so the artist could put the birds' feet out of sight in it. And waders are great because they don't have feet!
I'm yet to have a proper look at her foot/QUOTE]
Maybe she's resting on her right foot and what looks like the right 'leg' is actually the toe of her left foot peeping out through the feathers....
just a thought,
Keith.
Thanks for the help Keith. Fact is - I'm not working from any photo ref on this so I'm just kind of drawing it how I think it ought to be (using some sketches from Hobbister RSPB reserve, actually ). I think the foot needs to drop back and into the breast/flank plumes a tad - that ought to help its point of balance somewhat. A bit less leg showing - as any demure lady will concur.I'm yet to have a proper look at her foot/QUOTE]
