owl sculpture in progress

[annmaria]

Hi thought i would put this on to show owl and mouse in progress, the tail is not the real thing yet and the back claw is dodgy needs work.Might put the front view on if folks are interested.

Thank you Vera for your reply, I try to get close to the real thing. It does look OK SO FAR but can easily go wrong, are you into art in any way, everyone on here gets lots of support and advice..........
Cheers

hi annmaria, this is great, you've been busy .... this is dynamic and i like that, i try sometimes to add that to my paintings but as you know it makes the job 10x more difficult, you seem to be pulling it off. Its good to see it in its early stages we can see how it evolves, i'm sure people don't realise how much work goes in to creating a piece of art like this, thanks for sharing & i'll look forward to seeing more soon. AL.

Thanky kindly, I pinched the idea of work in progress from you, how is your painting ? Who will finish first I wonder , I seem to keep finding more problems with this one.
Making things dynamic is the tricky bit but worth it when it works.

hi Annmaria, i've just got stuck, & it was going so well. The trouble is, i've put myself under alot of pressure, i wish to complete 3 paintings by the Summer & its Spring outside. Couldn't help it had to go out the sun was shining...Actually really glad i went out got a photo of a Roe deer & spent a couple of hours with 2 Adders. I heard you scream. The thing is they're not as dangerous as people think i was about ten inches from them photographing them with my macro lens and they weren't one bit bothered, quite a spiritual moment, oh painting and sculpture threads-we're on sorry

Hi Wild Man, I did not scream, On holiday in Lombok I had two close encounters with two different snakes.To get in our garden area you had to pass under a small thatched roof, the first snake was almost black and waiting for ME ! It sort of wriggled up right then slid into the wall,the second snake dropped the thatch almost landing on me , we did a bizare little dance together, I was trying not to stand on it. The hotel staff were more concerned, it was green but not the nasty bright green.From then on I made a lot of noise approaching the door area , but now I am told snakes can not hear ( me scream) is that true?
Wont be going back to Lombok, apart from the snakes they don't use loo roll Enougth o make any girl scream .
Cheers

Yes Annmaria, its true they are deaf, but they do feel vibrations so stamp your feet...No toilet paper! you may have needed it after that shock

oops sorry Annmaria's mum
I want to try and get some into the National Exhibition Of Wildlife Art, its the largest open exhibition of wildlife art outside London, i'm going to try my hardest it'll be really good if i can one in.
You should consider putting your work in too, if you haven't already.
They allow 3d work also. National Exhibition Of Wildlife Art. Check it out i know they allow a maximum of three paintings for consideration.

Hey your not so wild after all, almost civilized .
Thanks I will check it out but I think I need at least another couple of years practice before I dare do anything so brave. Good luck to you, I will look forward to seeing which one they pick.
thanks again

Your doing that typical artist thing, i bet you're your own worst critic, there's nothing wrong with that, it helps us keep improving. As far as standard is concerned you have nothing to worry about from what i've seen, your work will also be seen as refreshing, as i doubt there will be many 3d works. Go for it, you have nothing to lose.

try and enter your kingfisher and the wrens. I think they'd be good enough

Thankyou Wild Man and Bub-les, what a lovely way to wake up and its a lovely sunrise,hope the day carries on like this .When I finish this owl, I might do it again properly.I get in a rush to prove I can do what I have in my minds eye and I neglect the finishing touches ......in other words SLOW DOWN.
Have a nice day.

Hi Wild Man I have just looked through the whole gallery ( NEOWA ) , I might just be in with a chance, like you say nothing to lose.Sounds like more fun to me, thank you.
Big Cheers
