Ladies, costumes and pets

In no particular order of being built, these are my ladies and their pets.

A Mediaeval Lady with her Greyhound Archie

The Lady Elizabeth on her horse Bar Sinister

The Lady Lucy with her Papillon Precious

All these 3
D models are made with paper paste, papier mache, wood, metals, fabrics and paints. They are all of a medium scale, maybe 1:8 scale.

New Acrylics


The winter of 2009 and 2010 was busy with exploring my technique. Now, I find that some of the small North American bird paintings feel like an illustration project. Then, there is the moment, as with the Soaring Raptors, that it is more "let go" loose and wonderful for me. I need to search for that more often, even if it means less paintings.
