Planning and Preparation

I have worked a lot this past week on current and new projects.

"Beyond the Garden Gate " is  almost completed. A few small additions will see it done. I am much happier with its outcome and I learnt much more on my Pan Pastel applications for backgrounds.

Two new projects have emerged....Australian Pacific Black Duck in reeds. I must be completely crazy for wanting to work on those reeds.....so this is the beginning!

I espied quite a few of these ducklings near the railway station in Castlemaine Victoria. This was the only one that would pose for a photo for me.
My other project is one I wanted to start,  so that I have something to work on by way of demonstration at the upcoming Queensland Wildlife Artist's Society Exhibition being held at my local art gallery.
I am still working on the composition but it is coming along.

As you can see the pencils have been flying about this past week.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
