Stonechat on Fuschia; 7th October 2009
Finished Painting; Stonechat on Fuschia; (18"x14")

Hobby and Emperor Dragonfly; New Painting.
Hobby and Emperor Dragonfly; Finished Painting; 36"x24"; Acrylic on Canvas.
Detail from the finished painting....
The bird blocked in over the sky...
The first stage complete. A couple of heavy coats of sky blue applied and left to dry before I went back in and added the cloud....
My latest painting, a fairly large canvas this one. The scene was inspired by my trip to Ă–stra Styran a few weeks ago where I watched four of these brilliant little falcons hunting dragonflies over the reedbeds. Super sight and have wanted to paint it ever since.
