Segments of new farm painting (untitled)* - © Tracy Hall 2009 20" x 28" watercolourWell, it doesn't do to try and paint miniatures with flu. I've started and abandoned two in the past week. Oh well. I am getting on fine with the larger works though, one above for a puzzle company. Must be a focusing thing :) Not a great deal to say just now, so some seals to enjoy instead from the beach here last week:
*Note - sadly I am not able to show the complete painting just yet, so have shown a few snippets instead. Sorry.

I hope you feel better soon Tracy, there's nothing worse is there?
This jigsaw painting is wonderful. I love how many objects you manage to put into a piece. How long does it take you to come up with the ideas for a piece like this and how long to draw them all out?
Tracy, I love when you paint small format art in the style of miniature art. It's magic! I must try it someday when I'm feeling patient!
Thanks Jeanette. I don't time it but I figure on around a month for these. I think planning it out takes as long as painting it - I learnt a while ago not to rush that part or I would regret it later! I enjoy that stage alot though and its great fun to try and create a little world. I often have some kind of brief from the company to start off.
Deb - I'm not quite sure what you mean, but thankyou :) I'm probably being fuzzy headed.
Hope you are already feeling much better. This painting will make a terrific puzzle.
Hi Tracy, the seals are so sweet to watch. Hope you get to feeling better soon Tracy and I love the puzzle painting. Good one as usual.
Take care Tracy.
Hope you and the family are all well again soon Tracy. So frustrating when illness gets in the way of painting! beautiful jigsaw and love the seals - what wonderful wildlife you have on your doorstep.
Tracy, all my best wishes for a speedy recovery. The flu is rampant in this parts to.
Very envious of your wee swimming "visitors" what a beautiful sight:)
So sorry you're feeling bad. Hope you have a speedy recovery! Thanks for the seal video! I really enjoyed it and loved the water sounds too.
Thnaks so much for the well wishes, much better today! I wish I had used a tripod (or my daughters head perhaps) for filming the seals as I didn't realise how unsteady my hand was. I'm putting it down to flu -along with everything else recently :)
Hope you're feeling better soon Tracy. Hope it's not piggy wiggy flu either.
Regards
April
