How nice to see the wildlife in spite of all the people. Those muted foliage colors behind the anhinga set it off so well!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304349794622823797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-16917493695632022452011-10-04T20:20:21.520-04:002011-10-04T20:20:21.520-04:00Hooray!

Nothing makes my heart sing like observing long necked birds. They are so calligraphic! Great captures :)Pam Johnson Brickellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927455773097702525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-22604603566355167472011-10-04T14:56:59.403-04:002011-10-04T14:56:59.403-04:00And the first of October here resulted in cooler t...And the first of October here resulted in cooler temps and MORE humidity - yay! Your sketches look great. <br /><br />I know how those bunnies can move so fast and you hang on to that memory hoping it'll last till you get it down on the paper! I think you did pretty well. According to Irene Brady in her Nature Sketching Basics book, we learn to make new templates from drawing animals when they are still or from photos so when they run like yours did, we can get a pretty good drawing (I am paraphrasing her so my apologies if I didn't get it quite right). I think she's right. Your bunny looks like a bunny who was enjoying a snack till he found he needed to bolt.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-86544678642902794362011-10-04T09:32:36.887-04:002011-10-04T09:32:36.887-04:00This is fun.

Altho the minute it turned October here it dived down in temps and has been raining. So our Fall is a lot cooler and wetter then yours. Look forward to what you find today.Cris, Artist in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067969984221375853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-91232538370061527312011-10-04T01:06:40.431-04:002011-10-04T01:06:40.431-04:00I can imagine how you're lapping up the cooler...I can imagine how you're lapping up the cooler weather Laure.

I really must try to get out more with my sketchbook - though have to admit I find it incredibly difficult to capture animals and birds outside and tend to use my photos in the comfort of the studio!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851668813182425335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-15723833419734564402011-10-03T14:44:32.968-04:002011-10-03T14:44:32.968-04:00Yay for fall!!
