Leftovers

I taught a workshop last Saturday and for my workshops I like to cut small boards that students can try marking on before they start working on their actual piece.  I also have them try out a new tool on the sample board to get a feel for the edge/tip.  Anyways- after cutting the boards from an 11"x14" board I had a random 5"x14" piece left over.  I am a big fan of pano pieces, so decided to not let it go to waste and did this little close up on a wolves eyes.  It is colored with inks.

I need to start thinking about my entry for this years Birds In Art... what to do, what to do :)

Tiger Eyes

This was a small board that I started before Alamosa and worked on as a demonstration at the show.  It is a little 5"x7" piece and is available framed with museum glass for $400 (minus 15% from my winter sale!).  Don't miss out!  e-mail me for more info or to purchase.

Another hour or two...

With the approaching holidays my days have been busy, but without too much time to make progress on the brothers. I did get a couple or hours to work on the fellow on the left building up more fur...  I am still debating the approach I will use for the aspen trees that will be in the background.

People always want to see close ups of how I do eyes... so as requested here is a much magnified (the actual size is about the size of a penny or smaller) image of one of the eye on the forward facing wolf.  As you can see it is still all just very fine lines!
