Our companions mean so much to us that having a portrait is a wonderful forever gift and not many artists can accomplish the real life like you have. One of my favorite species is the turtle, so that is going to be awesome too. Would love to see everything that you get done, so please don't get so rushed off your feet that you forget to send us pictures of each one. Sooooo happy to know you are well again and it is warm again too. Love to you, BJ<BR/>__________________<BR/>Beverly JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812449915257543646.post-81212714695215770252008-10-17T13:14:00.000+10:002008-10-17T13:14:00.000+10:00Thanks very kindly Bev I really appreciate it.

Think I've managed to take a shot that does her justice, just got to find the right size canvas now to paint her. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday I found a fabulous photo of a green turtle swimming underwater, am really looking forward to having a go at painting that. I've a big white wall that I think it would look great hanging on. Never painted an underwater scene before so should be interesting. Also found a lovely shot of a kookaburra on a dying tree branch... and one of a butcher bird sitting on an old windmill both taken at my mum and dads place up at glasshouse mountains near the north coast....would love to paint that one for Dad....got so many subjects to have a go at now that I don't know where to start. <BR/>Aint that usually the way though, its usually a famine or a feast....LOLBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776278885762695704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812449915257543646.post-64696733843477710422008-10-17T13:13:00.001+10:002008-10-17T13:13:00.001+10:00Hi Bernadine, You are an amazing artist.

What a wonderful person you are. An heirloom for sure and she will have it for her enjoyment forever. God bless, I am sooooo glad you are feeling better. Can't wait to see your other paintings. Hugs and Love to you and family and Remy too, BJ<BR/>__________________<BR/>Beverly JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812449915257543646.post-2579753476001379802008-10-17T13:13:00.000+10:002008-10-17T13:13:00.000+10:00Thanks Ladies that's really nice of you to comment...Thanks Ladies that's really nice of you to comment. Am very happy with how his eye's turned out. I think I'm getting better at injecting life and depth into the eyes of my subjects, the catch lights certainly help with that.<BR/><BR/>Halfway finished my white lipped tree frog and flower, been working on him nearly all day, lots of detail still to do though. Tired now, so am off to bed.Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776278885762695704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812449915257543646.post-66030576448102680722008-10-17T13:12:00.001+10:002008-10-17T13:12:00.001+10:00Bernadine!
