I posted the very first WIP on my facebook page as my Sunday Sneak Peek (since I tend to start new works on Sunday the name seemed appropriate) which was quite literally nothing more than the eyeballs. Now 2 days and maybe 5 hours later this is what I’ve got.
I forgot how long it takes to do true realism. Thank goodness it’s a small piece of only 11×14 inches.
As for the flamingo piece, I do plan to finish it, but new inspirations keep popping up and like a loose dog with a squirrel fetish I just keep chasing whatever flashes past my line of site. This is not something I have ever done. I have always been someone to make up silly rules like “Finish this painting before starting another.”
Where do I come up with that stuff?
Any Guesses?
So I’m not letting on what exactly it is but as I posted on my FB page here’s three hints.
1. It’s feline
2. It’s not domestic
3. I have painted this species before.
Working up to be a real beauty Mona – #1, tiger is my guess. You do fur with incredible quality. Have a wonderful week.
A tiger, I bet. Wonderfull eyes 🙂
Thank you both. 🙂
A tiger is a good guess (as so far it is the only species guessed both on facebook and here) but no. It is a much lesser known cat. I’ll reveal when I post my next WIP. Sadly had no time to work on him today.
