damn it, got here too late and what I was going to say has already been said! two superb pieces, both very different, both enormously successful

Here's a bewick's wren that I posted in the gallery yesterday. Although it's small at 10" x 8", this one took a while because of the reeds and all of the intertwining with each other and the deadfall. B

Bl####y Hell, brillient.....

Excellent as always Peter. I know how much work it is to paint reeds or grass like that so hats off to you for persevering till the end for a really worthwhile result.

I, on the other hand, have no idea how long it takes to paint with such detail and precision - but I share the previous commentators' appreciation of the finished work. A lovely little captured moment of light and form - beautiful.

Another beauty Peter!

Love the background in the wren pic. Peter

Thanks everybody, here are some mule deer in low evening light. The lighting in the background didn't come through quite right in the photography though.

two more superb ones, though I never even attempt to paint reeds with such precision, I can appreciate the headache they present - lovely work.

Thanks Nick!

Here's a preening egret - 21"x10"

Crikey Peter, you really know how much to say and what to leave out! This is a pure and sublime image - thoroughly gorgeous in its simplicity.

 

[Woody]

Light and magic, a corker Peter.

An egret in the sun simply stunning

 

[desgreene]

Another beauty! I think glowing does describe it well.
