You can see the original photo I used for this on Gary's blog post HERE you just need to scroll down a bit. I love this photo of Gary's depicting the beautiful detail in this handsome bird's feathers.
That's it - just a quickie from me today, as I've been browsing other blogs and took longer than I should have! - is it just me or do those word verification things make no sense at all? It takes me at least 3 tries before I get it right!!! I'm off to Chester now shopping for school uniforms and birthday presents - I'd rather be painting or up in the hills!
He's glorious! We have pheasants visiting the garden and they really are amazingly eye-catching birds. Happy shopping!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous aren't they - I unfortunately don't get them in the garden though, you're lucky!
DeleteWOW!! such outstanding colors in this pheasant!! Beautifully painted, Sharon!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Hilda - so glad you like it
DeleteI love these deliciously fusing colors and your wet-in-wet work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Blaga - I do like working wet in wet, love the effects it makes (when it goes well!)
DeleteThey are handsome birds aren't they .... lovely painting
ReplyDeletethank you Sue
DeleteYou done a wonderful work with this Sharon!!! Not just with the beautiful colours, but with all the little details! And gosh, Gary can do wonder with his camera... I found little lamps with black socks adorable, so sweet :)
ReplyDeleteWarm regards and happy shopping x
Thank you Konstantina - I'm spoiled for choice with photos to paint from, he's a great photographer
Deletebeautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteLove the detailing you have put on the birds neck....lovely painting. Good luck with the shopping expedition....our son went to Chester Uni a few years ago and loved it up there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann - the shopping went well although I was exhausted at the end of it - I'm not really into shopping unless it's for art supplies or walking gear!!!
DeleteIt's lovely.. you have a wonderful talent.
