Oooh, more pictures of the home of my heart! You have a real gift for rendering this kind of scene, Cindy! :) There are two points that I have to question, though, for future reference (again, not that I could do this myself, but I can tell that these two points don't look quite right -- my eye being better at this than my hands, as yet, at least).

First, the ripples in the dry wash of the path seem to me to be too consistently angled, instead of following the curves of the path, the way I'd expect them to, if they were caused by water running over the mud during flood time (which is what I think of when I see that kind of image). They'd make more sense if there were a way for the water to have acted on the land outside of the path, the same way, but with the wall there, I'd expect the water to be restricted to the path more, and curve to follow it, during flash floods.

Second, the tufts of greenery on the bush don't seem to have a correlary set of darker areas, within the shadow of the bush, so it looks to me like the shadow is of a bush that doesn't have as much foliage on it as this one does.

These are both fairly minor points though, which I offer only in order to point out directions in which you can continue to work on advancing your work, which is already spectacular, and VERY evocative of the landscapes you've been painting. <smile> As you may be able to tell, what I've seen so far has been enough to spur me to go back through the pictures in your user board, in order to see more of these pieces! <grin> But even great artists can still grow, and I hope I've offered some useful suggestions for your consideration, here. :)
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 13, 2004)
sure, always, I appreciate all the helpful suggestions. (Actually, it doesn't rain often where this was taken from and it's very windy, so I assume the ripples were caused by the wind since the sand changes rapidly - although the rain does a number on this wash when it does happen)

Thanks you two. I was going to do that DBA, but reached the limit quite fast with this one. Wish they would up that a bit for this board, as it really doesn't have enough when you use layers.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 11, 2004)
Yes, I know. 800kb (or even 6 or 7) for this board and 1mb for the advanced board would be perfect. Everyone would be ecstatic.
davincipoppalag (Mar 11, 2004)
great idea..great draw laureal... I agree.more contrast between the sky and the birds... also.. I would like to see more random sizes and colors of the twigs in the nest.. I love what you have, but it looks a bit unnatural being all of smooth uniform sizes of the same color..(almost like they have a nest supplies departement at Home Depot lol) ..I am sure one of the mods will move this up to a bigger space board for you..its a great pic and deserves to be finished!
laurael (edited Mar 13, 2004)
"Ha ha davinci...you are 'so' funny..."(O.M.) That's what I was going for(sarcasm) Wow...home depot sales are great, aren't they?

That's pretty cool, kinda spooky, like an ecto-cat. Always keeping it unique, keep it up :)
brushes4 (Mar 7, 2004)
dba...this comment is from my son, as he doesnt have an account (yet) he's going through me.

i really like your picture(and so does my sister) the detail and cat tail are amazing, the background looks real, and it looks like a constellation, it makes me wonder, is it a big cat(cheetah, jaguar etc. or a pet kitty, i like how it makes me wonder that.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 7, 2004)
It's a silhouette of a mountain lion. (Tell your kids thank you...) I have a fascination with them because we live on a lake with alot of cliffs, we have them here... they are very elusive. Sometimes when I deer hunt I find tracks and just before dark when the hair stands up on the back of my neck, I know I have gone from being the hunter to the hunted... lol :)
laurael (Mar 11, 2004)
I can't believe you didn't get tons of comments on this one(guess I was one of the guilty ones until now), but damn...this is another awesome one added to your great pics. I love all of them actually, even though I see that I have been lazy at commenting...

To Brushes: I hope that this does the memory of your mother, and the love you have for your children justice. I find that alot of people associate redbirds with someone who was very dear to them, usually the person who taught them to love. My grandmother loves them, and it was one of the first things we painted together when I was little.

wow! DBA! i love this! you are an inspiration to bird lovers everywhere :D
EverDream (Mar 4, 2004)
This is really good DBA! You did exceptional work on the background. My only pick with this is the tip of the beak doesn't seem to fit being rounded like that....kinda like it belongs on a different species...you might want to try sharpening the edge more, making it more straight. Other than that everything else is awesome! :D
foxman8245 (Mar 4, 2004)
Love this pic... so realistic.. and the Cardinal is my state bird. (Ohio)
Noremac (Mar 5, 2004)
as fledgling wings grow on avery situation, doth thy cardinal fly with thee?
