2.25" x 1.75" Watercolour on rag board (penny shown for scale)
Finished up a new miniature this weekend of fulmars nesting on the cliffs near our house. Like their relatives the Albatross, fulmars are surprisingly long lived and tend to return to the same nest site and mate each year, laying a single egg on a scraped out ledge. Their name come from the old norse for 'foul gull' and refers to the nasty, sticky, smelly stuff they spit if you get too close!

Another gem you've produced. Your work always leaves me in awe of how much detail can be put in such a small space.
Very nice work as always Tracy. Love the grass detail.
Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful image. I greatly admire your technique and the composition and textures. An extremely accomplished work of art!
Tracy, I really love your color choices and wow, all the grass! Another beautiful work!
I know Ive said it before, but it still amazes me the amount of detail you can get in such a small painting-sound like interesting creatures!
Okay, once again beautiful work (and super amazing grass!) but not sure on the birds...nasty spit??
So, I guess you used a telephoto to get the reference?
I wish I had your energy and drive Tracy, another good one!!
Thank you so much for stopping by everyone, and for your nice comments. Kim I stayed safely out of spitting range! Judy - funny!!
As always, another gorgeous piece Tracy. How can such a love bird make a smelly? :-0 Hahaha... I sure would love to see your work "in real life"- bet it would knock your socks off.
