Despite battling the respiratory flu for the past week and a half, I have managed to complete the detail work of the bridle in the past couple of days. Though I will return and go over the darkest and lightest areas again just prior to completion of the drawing, for now I'll call this area of the rendering -- done.
Though its unusual for me to be working on two or three drawings at a time, that's exactly what I find myself doing at present. I'm feeling compelled to set this one aside for a time, and return to a larger equine piece that I began several months ago. A couple of submission deadlines are looming in the not-to-distant future, and the larger works are more suitable for these.
Thanks for stopping in.
Wow, lovely, delicate detail on that piece! I know what you mean Lynda about jumping from piece to piece...been doing that lately too! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteMust be something in the water because I find myself doing that to...normailly I have to see out a piece from start to finish. Lovely detail and hopefully your flu bug will soon be a distant memory :)
ReplyDeleteColette and Elizabeth.....at least I clearly am in good company! I usually feel a little obsessed with finishing a piece prior to moving on. I am feeling better the past couple of days, so am slowly getting back in the saddle and catching up with all those things I got so behind on. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself. :)
Love this one Lynda! I can actually smell the leather from the strap and feel the texture of the metal! This is your best!! Glad you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteugh, hope the flu is getting better!
ReplyDeletelove the attention to detail on this, really looks like metal :)
Thanks so much, Jim, Dianna, and Jennifer. Maybe I should title this piece "Tedious", because thats what that silver was to work on. I rather enjoyed it though -- even the parts that involved a magnifying glass......(and isn't the smell of leather horse tack just the best, Dianna -- I just love it!)
ReplyDeleteThe silver may have taken some "tedious" effort but it paid off - looks fabulous. It also looks like you enjoyed doing it and all while feeling ill. What a trooper! Glad to hear you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI love the textures and especially the fur! So much fun to look at... Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTeresa and Barb -- thanks so much. Wellll.....I REALLY don't know how much of a "trooper" I am: cuz in all honesty, for about 10 days I developed a very personal relationship with my couch!
