Default Sleeping Avocet Smoothie

I just finished up a smoothie sleeping avocet. My first smooth carving and my first shorebird...
I sorta documented the painting process start to finish...
American Avocet
My photos are formatted too big for the Gallery here, hence the link....:-)

Thanks for looking!
Lori

WHOA...you mean I'm officially an Honorary SB??? COOL. An honor I'll try to do justice to....
I'm glad I didn't finish under that funky light too...next time I'm bringing my OWN lights...or...hey, here's an idea...FINISH the silly thing before flying out...LMAO...

I'll bring my waders...but I have a sneaking hunch that I won't have time to get into them...lolol....but I've been running every day...catch me if you can...

Welcome the the forum by the way!!!

Thumbs up Re: Sleeping Avocet Smoothie

In my dreams only, to be able to paint like that. Beautiful carving and painting both. Great way to start the day with such an inspiration. Thanks for posting.

Hugh and Hi_Ho...THANK YOU very much...it was an experimental piece for me (first totally smooth bird), and I learned a few things...I think I'm going to use less texture and more paint effects on my future carvings. See if I can reach a happy medium....
