Tiger Finished.

I have been working on this one for a long time now.
It is 1M x 50cm, Oil on board.
I am extremely pleased with the result.

Pigeon Surprise!

I have been working on this painting in secret for the past year, to give to DH as a Christmas present (or birthday '08 if I didn't finish it in time for Christmas!).
I finished it in time for christmas so I can post it now!
It has been very difficult at times because he was under the impression that I was painting a tree (that I did start, and will now finish!) and this tree was taking an awful long time to finish!!
Most difficult was the organisation required to get it framed!
Pigeon breeding and racing is his hobby.
He was very surprised and I think he liked it because he asked me to do one for his brother, who races pigeons too!!
I used 3 different photos I took of the pigeons, one for the group, one for the mob flying past and a couple of the white bird (called a "Grizzle") in the middle as this is his favourite bird.
Painted in oil Paint it is approx. 24" x 30".

Pelicans Finished.

Finally I have finished this painting.
I'm happy with the way it came out.
Ths is Oil on board, 26" X 19".

Pelicans - WIP.

This is a work in progress (WIP). It is an oil painting on board, 18 x 25 inches. I used photo I took on holidays in Mallacoota where there are always plenty of pelicans to photograph. It has taken a long time to get this far as I only work on it for around 2 hrs a week. I forgot to remove the stick at the bottom before taking the picture. This is used to rest your hand on as you are painting so you don't rest your hand on where you have just painted (I must learn to use that!) Seeing the painting up here helps me to find bits and pieces that need work!!

Painting Frogs

Its been a while since I posted here. I have been so busy doing craft, I haven't had alot of time for my art. My most recent is this oil painting on canvas I did from a photograph I found online. I can't remember exactly where. This painting is pretty small. Its only 150 x 210. I really like the way it turned out considering that apart from the 4 ATCs I did, this is the only other oil painting I've done and so far, its the largest, even thought its small!.
