Reminiscent Sketches

About Me
- Redbush
- I live on an acreage with my husband, and two dogs, a shepherd, and a wire-haired fox terrier. My shepherd has been a show dog, and I enjoy taking him to various obedience competitions. I have always enjoyed the wilderness, so, I am constantly taking photos to be used as references for mostly landscape artworks done in oils, acrylics, and watercolours. Usually my artworks are displayed and entered for sale in a couple of different shows a year, and I have done commissions for customers. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, and horses.

I wish I had half your talent!! That sketch is amazing.
Oh wow.. what a wonderful sketch. You're so talented! And the images of baby bald are wonderful.
Your sketch gets the eagle's expression wonderfully. And don't complain about the quality of the pictures of the baby--at least you and the camera were there!

Thanks, Bag Lady! I'd love to have your talents! I like to sketch certain animals, so, hope I do justice to baby bald when I sketch him, or her.
Thanks for the compliment, Hilary. Eagles definitely intrigue me especially after our meeting with him this summer.
Solarity, I'm glad you liked the sketch. These camera pictures were some of the ones I took without using the zoom.
What a wonderful sketch.
Your pics got the job done. That's what matters.
That sketch is terrific!
Thanks, Leah! I will know better the more and more I use my camera!
Thanks for stopping, David! I always have to sketch everything before, or if I decide to put paint to the subject.
And congratulations on being chosen for Posts of the Week! Go, you!
I could surely stand to have a bit of your talent. Congratulations on POTW mention at Hilary's!
There is something quite striking about the eyes of eagles, and most definitely you have talent when it comes to sketching! (I, myself, draw stick figures.) Thank you for sharing, and congratulations on your POTW!
Yep. What the others said. Wonderful sketch, and, if the pictures don't delight you, well they're still good enough... you got them. That counts.
Congratulations on your potw.
You do some nice artwork, I had fun looking through your blog. I have lots of eagles in the winter around me and enjoy watching them.
What beautiful work. Exquisite. : ) Thanks for sharing your art.
Amazing sketch and wonderful photos. You truly have a talent there.
I would love to be able to get close enough to a bird to take a shot like that. The sketch was awesome....
Bag Lady, thanks for the heads up about POTW! I feel honored!
Thanks, Leah! I love sketching and animal if the picture does it justice. I can't believe I got POTW! There are so many great blogs out there, and yours is one of them.
Thanks, Lori! Hilary has such lovely photos. I feel humbled.
Kcinnova, thanks for stopping by! You'd be surprised what you could really draw with a little encouragement. I'll bet thery're much better than stick figures!
Thanks, Cricket! I really enjoyed sketching him. Once I'm into a piece, I hate to put it down if it seems to be working. But, just the same applies if it doesn't seem it's working. If I put it aside then, my eyes are wide open when I try to sleep!
Out on the prairie, I envy you for having so many eagles around you! I would have a hay day with the camera! Thanks for your comment!
Life with Kaishon, I appreciate that you enjoyed my piece. Thanks for dropping by.
Thanks for the compliment, Linda! I'm glad you stopped by!
Gaelikka, thanks so much! We felt so priviledged this summer to have taken as many pictures as we had. I'm going to do some sketches of the little guy in the very near future, and hopefully they will work out so I may share them!
