Gannets in miniature - completed

Gannets © Tracy Hall 2009
3.5" x 2" Watercolour on Board

Just a quick post to show the finished Gannet miniature painting (enlarged with a penny shown for scale) .

Also as a footnote, our internet has been down for the last 24 hours so apologies if you have emailed but not heard back. How very odd it is to be without - perhaps a lesson on modern living there! Not that I was indoors today anyway; out battling the horseflies to mow the grass and getting sunburnt instead. I can report that Jungle Formula doesn't work with horseflies (or 'clegs' as they are called here) and I'm all out of Skin so Soft which seems to work with everything - including midges - and smells nice too. Its not sold as an insect repellent but trust me, it works.

Beautiful Tracy, I often stop by your blog, your work is so small but detailed, you must have patience as well as talent

Your colors are so soft Tracy. I think it is sometimes difficult to create a beautiful painting with a greatly limited pallete and you have succeeded here. Still marvel at what you can do in miniature.

There's a lot going on in that tiny space, Tracy! Wow, and your whites are so clean!

Laura Dicus said...

Your work is fantastic! The realism is super, and inspiring.

Bella said...

Your work is amazing. Such detail on such a small scale - it's wonderful.

Thanks so much Karie-Ann, and thank you also for stopping by :)

I'm pleased you like it Mollie, and thank you Barbara. It's actually lots of fun to limit the colours, I enjoyed it.

Thank you Laura and Bella for your lovely comments!

Great work, yet again Tracy. Would you ever work on a much larger size?
Warmest regards

Just beautiful Tracy. You always manage to put just enough into a painting - even on such a tiny scale.
