I thought I'd show you a bit of 'Work in Progress' that I have been doing today. I think the drawings mostly all in and ready for painting now... This is the portrait I'm doing for my good friend of her boys - I'm pretty certain she doesn't know my blog so the secret should be safe!
It has departed a bit from my original idea that I showed in a post here... I think I'll still do the Dragon roundal at some point but the boys would have been so small in it, and I think that's what was stopping me getting started on it. Sometimes you get stalled for a reason...
Maybe I'll start painting this one tomorrow...
Here's a close up of my elusive hawk in the oak leaves...
And a close up of the boys with the bees...
It is absolutly wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLooking good Carrie, is the hawk going to become your signature bird? I hope you don't entirely forget about the dragon roudal though - I absolutely fell in love with it when you first showed it to us :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I agree with Kit and Kaboodle that hopefully you will get to do the dragon roundal at some stage. I think your friend will probably prefer this one as the children are much bigger and of more focus. Their eyes really draw you in. I love it. She is lucky to have a friend like you.
ReplyDeleteYour portraits are lovely. I love this one with the two boys standing under the oak tree, the secret bird, the cow parsley and bees. It has a happy feel to it, their mum is going to love it.
ReplyDeleteLucky mum!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! She's going to be thrilled.
