Birds revisted 2008-05-14 04:50:05 Sometimes its possible to step back from a painting and return to it with fresh eyes days or weeks later. I find this really helpful and its amazing what jumps out at you, or how easy it is to fix the problems that took on epic proportions and seemed insurmountable at the time. So that is what I have been doing lately - only with fifty paintings, some of which date back several years to when we Read more:Birds

Rooster Painting in Watercolour 2008-06-10 04:51:03 Cockerel study 6" x 4"copyright Tracy Hall 2008
This is Picasso, our resident cockerel. I have been wanting to paint him for some time as he loves to pose and is rather good at it. Finally today, while waiting for some paper to stretch itself, I did. I have no idea what breed he is, but as I got the eggs from a neighbour I suspect it's a heinz 57 variety :) He was hatched under an obligi Read more:Rooster

Otters - watercolour painting in miniature 2008-06-14 17:19:54 Young Otters (working title) 3" x 2" watercolour
This week has been mainly taken up with the planning stages for a large commission featuring six cats, but in between I have been having fun with a new miniature
painting. These are young Asian short clawed otters, and we met them a couple of weeks ago at Longleat safari park. They were full of fun and hardly stayed still for a moment! (T
Garden Cats Painting 2008-06-22 13:06:29 Here is a start made on the painting of six cats in a garden I mentioned last week. This has been quite a bit of fun to organise as everything in the painting has a special meaning for the lady who has commissioned it. It has meant working from many photographs, some from the fifties, as well as a fair bit of imagination to include everything. Not to mention a large bunch of lupins from the Read more:Garden

Cats Portrait in watercolour 2008-07-13 06:52:36 I mentioned a little while ago a painting of cats in a garden that I am working on and here is an update. Its 28" x 20" in watercolour
on arches. The cats are slowly emerging and beginning to take on their personalities. Lots of fur which is always fun :) If I get time over the next few days I'll post some more new work, but as it is the school holidays as well time is something in short Read more:Portrait
garden moths & diver 2008-07-05 15:29:08 We have the moth trap out again now, and although there don't seem to be many around yet it was nice to find a Poplar Hawk Moth this morning (above). Another of my favourites was also there, the wonderfully named 'beautiful Golden Y' (named for its prominent marking, which I think looks more like a dancing stickman, but that would be a rotten name for a moth):
