Paintings

Birds feature in a lot of the new paintings and also flowers; poppies on a large scale, sunflowers and the lovely Bearded Iris. Insects and other creatures can be found amongst them. There is also an oil painting on a large scale featuring a hunting scene. Close examination of this will reveal a lot of detail.

Birds

Birds

I have been having great fun recently working on some bird sculptures in various styles and using different techniques. They range from more or less realistic to complete fantasy! Here are a few in various stages of production:

Drying out.

Decorating with underglaze after first firing

unted on wood of hens. mo — Hen Pair

pair of hens mounted on wood — Good Friends

Rook. This one is not finished yet. The clay will turn black when fired and it will be mounted, probably on a post or block of wood.

Drying out, texture has been used to add detail

Underglaze has been used to add colour.

Hatchling — “Hatchling” after final firing. The choice of base is important

close up of hatchling sculpture — Detail adds character.

Texture and a tuft decorate this one. There are holes underneath to add legs later.

Underglaze has been applied to add colour

Tufftty Bird — Tufty Bird has a wooden stand, a natural small log

tuffty bird mounted on wood — Texture and colour are important

And here are some completed birds:
