Anyway, I sketched him first and have dry brushed and then dabbled water where I wanted the colors to bleed. This creates such a soft feather! I hope to work on him today. It's warm and sunny maybe I'll paint on the back porch again. I love being outside with the hummingbirds zooming thru the porch, now the baby Carolina Wren has left the nest in the eves over where I paint so no more visits from their family. We do have 2 new kittens which need homes.. both tuxedo cats. Sadie and Mama cat are having a feud, Sadie, our lab, wants to see and play, and Mama cat is protecting her babies..
Wishing you a happy weekend. Next weekend I have an art show. Barrier Island Center Art and Music on the Farm. Love to each of you. Diana
What a handsome fellow - and the painting is looking really good. Sounds like you are surrounded by animals of all kinds :)
ReplyDeleteDear Diana - such a great subject. Love seeing the start of this piece. It is looking good my friend. Hope you find homes for those two kittens. I have a tuxedo one - Scooter. Hope Sadie doesn't feel too bad not being allowed to play!!
ReplyDeleteOh he is coming along beautifully, Diana! I love what I am seeing here!
ReplyDeleteHe is lovely already!! Can't wait to see how he looks when he is fully dressed! :0)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra, he did turn out well. I love owls!Thank you Sherrie. Tell me where your new blog is. I'm sorry I haven't been visiting anyone lately. Thanks Debbie, I'd love to see Scooter. i know he is cute.,Thank you Rhonda. We just had a raccoon go thru the front yard midday. That's not good but he did leave when John went outside. I don't want a rabid raccoon, as no one does. Have a great weekend, love to each of you,Diana
