Mother & Baby Badgers by max lennox

I tried this once......it is much harder than it looks. this is a great picture.

EXCELLENT, love it max

This is Betty thanking you both for your comments on my scratch foils. Yes it is hard to do as you say Ann but i enjoy doing them but you have to have a good light to do it by. Thank you Mark as you can see Betty did this not me.

Gorgeous - very well done. Love the small log with the tiny Badgers underneath. Excellent.

This on is very well done. So much detail.

This is particularly well executed Max...I like it...the detail, composition & the delicacy of the 'strokes'...This is perhaps your art-form of choice? Oh how big is this work please?

Lovely, very delicate work. It shows that you have enjoyed producing this picture. Excellent !

With the encouragement i have received from you all i will endeavour to put more scrape foils on. The boards vary Phil i usually use 10" by 8" but i have done some in other sizes they come in the colour black with gold silver & bronze uderneath so when you scratch them the colour comes to the surface. Max urged me to put these on his site i hope i am doing right. Regards Betty.

Betty this is lovely work, I've seen lino cutting, but this scraperboard is new to me, and looks really difficult to do. Please thank Max for his nice comments on my oil painting of H.M.S. Colossus.

Thank you Norman for your kind comments, it is a difficult subject to work on but i do love a challenge. I have passed on your message to Max & he said he thought your painting was superb. Betty.

I just love badgers and this is lovely...tried some scratching back with water colour and oil pastel very exacting...again congratulations Betty just lovely

Thank you again Patsy, i have started to do a cottage that the flowers are painted in after whether i shall finish it i don't know.

Delightful scene and so beautifully done. It must takes ages to achieve this effect. You are so good at capturing the 'essence' of the animal. Really well done.

This was a little easier than some i have done but very enjoyable just the same. Thank you Thea for your kind comments on all my work very much appreciated. Betty

What detailed work,Betty! Very well done. It must take ages to do this type of work.

Thank you Geraldine...some take longer than others to do & very hard on the eyes but i enjoy doing them very much.
