young peacock miniature painting

Young Peacock © Tracy Hall 2011
4" x 1.75" watercolour on board

I managed to finish up this new miniature painting of a young peacock over the weekend - a beautiful bird that I photographed when visiting friends last year. I'm having fun playing with this long format for the miniatures at the moment.

On the big easel just now I am finishing up a new painting for a jigsaw company...which I am trying to get done by the end of the week so I had better get back to it!

sanderling miniature painting

sanderling - miniature bird painting by Tracy Hall

4" x 1.75" Watercolour on rag board

My latest miniature is of a sanderling feeding at the water's edge (these birds are aptly named since they invariably appear on sand, scurrying up and down the beach as the waves roll in).

If you are in Edinburgh over the next couple of weeks I hope you'll be able to pop along to the Open Eye Gallery to see my father's new exhibition opening on Monday February 21st until March 8th.

Finally, some more new puzzles are now out, artwork commissioned by companies in the UK and USA, and hopefully available at a shop near you!
