Still Life Finished

This is the still life which I posted an WIP picture of towards the end of June. It is finished, FINALLY!! This took a lot of patience and on my half, and a lot of putting up with my frustrations on Shane's half. He's right though I can see in the scan that there is a lot that could be fixed. For the time being though, I am pleased with it. This is the best thing I have ever done in charcoal, and one of the only things I have ever done in charcoal.

A Blue Owl

I have been working diligently on my owls today and have accomplished a lot on the blue owl. For the most part, the blue owl is done. I only need to add a few finishing details which will be added at a later date when the rest of the painting is at the point that the blue owl is at now. I am really looking forward to the end result on this painting. The yellow owl still needs quite a bit of love and affection before it will be at the same point that the blue owl is at now.
