The piece is blocked out to be 20" h x 30" W - though once I am further along I may decide to crop a couple of inches off the left side in order to create a more balanced composition.<br /><br />I noticed from your blog Elizabeth, that you plan on alternating pieces as you work. I initially did this out of necessity due to a deadline, and am finding that I rather like working this way. Another friend of mine works on as many as SIX pieces at a time - I think that would be a bit much for my attention span!<br /><br />Thanks so much, Colette. This is done on Uart sanded pastel paper (a surface you are familiar with if I remember correctly) and is done in colored pencil. I used a combination of Faber-Castell Polychromos, Derwent Coloursoft, and Prismacolor.<br /><br />Its funny, Michael. When I was a young whipper-snapper (a long time ago), most of my work was animal or wildlife. However this is only the third animal piece since resuming my art several years ago. I am really enjoying the subject matter, and have the sneaking suspicion I will be doing more. Thank you for your kind words.Lynda Schumacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770249962267325853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774545739461667736.post-2916483992528335172010-01-11T16:39:05.444-05:002010-01-11T16:39:05.444-05:00Beautiful job Lynda.

I normally work through one painting before tackling another but I'm going to try doing what your doing and alternate between paintings. I think that will help to keep things fresh :)Elizabeth McCrindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11757752273783445575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774545739461667736.post-77244081084614580302010-01-11T08:27:55.882-05:002010-01-11T08:27:55.882-05:00How wonderfully realized, Lynda.

How large will it be when finished?Debbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593741125120476026noreply@blogger.com
