Well ... I did it!
2 pictures finished and framed ready for the Canterbury Society of Art's Exhibition this weekend. Deadline for entries is today and I finished framing them this morning ... real seat of pants stuff!
Historically I've submitted portraits (mostly people but some cats/dogs) and have sold several. This is a fairly small show in a Village Hall held annualy during the August Bank Holiday weekend. Its been a lucky one for me - this is the first year I've submitted wildlife pictures so we'll see how they fare - fingers crossed!
The Leopard is now framed - he was actually drawn to a size to fit a mount/frame I'm reusing (cutting down on my costs so I can reflect that in the selling price).
Its very difficult to photograph glazed pictures - I seem to have caught my own reflection in the bottom left corner even though I found a darkish area in my 'studio' and angled the picture away from the light/windows.
Its working title is 'sleeping off lunch'
The young lion is also framed now - reusing a mount/frame. The frame is actually a green/bronze colour and the inner mount is sage green (looks grey in the photo). Again, sorry about the reflections on the glass
A couple of the progress photos on this lion.
More detail/colour added to face and fur generally.
Eyelashes and whiskers added. This was taken in better light and is fairly true to life in terms of colour. He was one of several young males we saw at Porini Rhino Camp in Kenya in June. I'm not good with thinking up titles so this has the boring name 'Concentration'
