Instead of a slide show, which requires fast viewing and can be -- frankly, a little annoying -- I've made a selection of 2 New Curlews* in progress. Beginning in early July, I painted almost (but not quite) daily until mid-August. The latest image is from August 18.

There is lots more to do. There are still some open spots in the #starrynight sky and in the #stained-glass grass. The the body feathers, heads and beaks need work, too.

Then, after two months of painting with acrylic ink, it will be as if I had to start all over as I outline each shape with my trusty fountain pen.

This is the ultimate in #artfun.

July 14. Pencil covered with clear gesso.

* These are the #strawberry curlew and the #kiwi curlew. They do not muck about in marshes as their heretofore well-known cousins.
