Think we must call you the detail man Star-man. Beautifully worked David. Boy I am not going to count all those leaves. You have here a first class example of tones. Which makes our music in painting. A good symphony this one.

All I can say is teach me....wonderful

David, my musical term (in dance) for this is: Adagio.....a sequence of well-controlled, graceful movements performed as a display of skill. This is truly beautiful, and outstanding proof of your skill and patience.

I am not usually too keen on detailed work but this is top notch David.

This is just amazing David.....incredible detail.....I am intrigued to know how long this took...

Posted by Sylvia Pawson on Tue 09 Aug 10:32:42

Sylvia thankyou for your lovely comments.It took about a week to do alternating between graphite ,charcoal ,acrylic and gouache .just like the way we paint their were many alterations but I enjoyed 'painting' with charcoal and graphite .At the moment I am experimenting with different papers and techniques .

Posted by David Harrison on Tue 09 Aug 13:49:22

Lol...your wife calls you that because she's fond of you, just think of what she could call you, if she wasn't. A gold star and a big hug, careful, John will get jealous!!lol

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Tue 09 Aug 14:43:38

I won't tell you what she actually calls me . John doesn't get jealous he is to busy watching and painting birds and sheep. no Fiona you are worthy of a gold star for your superior artistic dance techniques with Adagio or whoever she is
