Bob Cat painting

[elkantlers]

I will admit, at Post 14 I was thinking it was way too orange for a bobcat. But the more you work on it, the better it gets. Looking forward to your next update.

JMHO, but I am guessing the background will be fairly dark and he wants the contrast. Dave, if I am wrong let me know.

sort of. He's traversing a fallen burnt log with a big root system in the bad ground. and I'm still thinking through the rest. not sure it I want a creek bank or what yet. The reference pic is another blurred out shot. I don't do blurred

The wife kept asking me why I was not painting yesterday evening all the while at the same time asking for help weeding the flower beds. I helped her and said ; the painting the wait dear...... scored so big points their.

Nothing like a little *forced labor* to accrue a few house points. I have to keep reminding myself of that.

How many manhours so far Dave? This'n looks labor intensive. How does it compare to the seaside/dock & birds scene timewise?

Phenominal

Thanka noha and festus.

Thanks id

LOL I still amaze myself. All I see when I start is a jumbled mess of color on the canvas but in my mind I see the finished piece . I just need to clear the mess bit by bit to get clarity.

 

[DaveHawk]

Getting to the grasses.

 

[noharleyyet]

...the grass really defines the fallen tree. I enjoy your time lapse works Dave.

[DaveHawk]

Thanks nohar and outwest.
Getting closer to finish.
