"Light Sussex Hen"
Size approx 11.5x15.5"

Here is the last week's work on this chicken.  This one will be going to the second of the exhibitions in a couple of weeks time at Talents Fine Art Gallery in Malton.  The RHS Harlow Carr Art Exhibition began today, so hopefully they had a busy start (I wasn't there today)

NOW SOLD

Highland Cow

'Highland Cow'
Size approx 15.5x11.5"

A relatively quick one here.  I've touched on this technique in a few earlier posts, but with the exception of the horns and nose area, the entire drawing is all created with tissue and erasers.  Onto a chicken now!

NOW SOLD

Red Kite complete

'Red Kite'
Size approx 16.5" x 12"

Finally finished this feathery Red Kite.  

No time to rest though, onto the next and prep for Sunday's North Yorkshire County Show. 

Pheasant completed...maybe!

"Strutting Pheasant"
Size approx 17x11.5"

I must admit, although, I had finished this drawing, I have great urges to add a few tall blades of grass to it. I'm not sure why as this was the look I was going for from the start, but i've scribbled over a print of the drawing and I feel it may just add something extra to it...or ruin it completely!  I may have to sleep on it.

Red Grouse complete

'Red Grouse'
Image size 10.5"x14"
NOW SOLD

I thought i'd need to tinker with this one a little.  There's probably no difference between this post and the last (especially at this scale), but thought i'd add the actual finished piece. 

And just to make this post a little more worthwhile, here is a snippet of the next game bird.  I'm definitely going to be taking a break from small feathers after these two!

Red Grouse

Here is the weekend's work.  I think this one is finished, but I feel I need a day or two to decide.  If there isn't a further update, here is 'Red Grouse', image size approx 10.5"x14".  If there is an update, here is where I am so far with the grouse.  We'll see...

NOW SOLD
