Ruby Crowned Kinglet in acrylics


I really enjoyed painting this one in much larger format than I normal do -  it is a lot easier to see the finer details and the subtle change in feather colours. 

Ruby Crowned Kinglet 2 measures approx. 12 x 12 inches and is painted on loose unstretched Fredrix canvas.

Many thanks to Nigel for the reference photo.

The painting is available for purchase from my Etsy shop.  To view the listing, please click here.

Snow Leopard in acrylics



I love everything about this one.  Really pleased with the final painting.  I used a lot of glazes to get the depth to the fur and the rock was fun to paint - used my fingers quite a bit in the beginning. 

Snow Leopard 2 measures approx. 12 x 12 inches and is painted on loose unstretched Fredrix Canvas.

Many thanks to Keith Spicer for the reference photo.
