More Journaling and Echidna Circle

Some more Journal subjects....
No. 7 - Mystical
It had to be an owl....this one is a Barn Owl
No. 8 - Tears
I chose an African Rhino because their desperate plight does make you want to cry tears of anger and sadness!
No. 9 - Fishing
This one is a ring in as the challenge prompt was really "splatter" but my journal paper wouldn't accommodate any wet medium so I chose the No.9 from another challenge list. It hasn't photographed well but came up well in my journal. It's a Great Egret in breeding colour. The reference came with permission from talented photographer Kev Webb.
No. 10 - Pink
It was a hard choice between Galah and Major Mitchell cockatoo but the latter won!
Finally "Echidna Circle" is finished. It feels like a marathon is finally run lol!
Here is the less than ordinary photo that inspired this piece....
It feels very satisfying to combine a wonderful memory to the mix and get it down on paper at last.
So.....on to a new project. I have decided to extend my journal piece of the Musk Lorikeets into a larger project.
That's it from me today.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    Your journal Michelle will be something to behold! And Echidna Circle - your creation is soooooo much better than the original, so beautiful, those apostle birds have so much personality and you've caught it in your art, love it! Well done!

    Fantastic challenge drawings, good to see the ideas are flowing. Love Echidna circle, I can hear those birds having a good chatter on the sign.
