Chimp in progress - © Tracy Hall 2011
4" x 1.75" watercolour
Starting this week (unusually for me) with a miniature painting work-in-progress that I actually remembered to take a photo of. This is where I am at this evening with a portrait of a chimpanzee that we met at Edinburgh zoo last summer. This chap had just been enjoying an onion (and he didn't wince once) while another chimp had just cleared the viewing deck by hurling apples at the humans with considerable enthusiasm! I really do enjoy painting apes and this one is no exception. Followed by the second in my (short) miniature series of boats in the harbour, and a pair to the one in my last post -

Plus an update from the big easel where I am currently painting sheep for a jigsaw - here's a detail from the latest painting which I'll show in full when it's been published later this year:

They are all so beautiful, Tracey.
Wonderful pieces. Amazing with details for this small size :)
Wow, love the chimp. The expression on his face is amazing.
your chimp has such emotion Tracy...he is wonderful...his soft expression is as if he is pondering...thoughtfully thinking or remembering. I love that about your work...you capture an expression so often...so personal.
