The contrast between the darkness of your fox drawing and the colourfulness of your chicken really makes the point here Caroline. Poor chickens - my sister lost all her's to the fox - she was very upset!
Caroline, I thought for a while you were posting photographs based on your thumbnail. You are a secret that needs to be revealed. You are truly terrific. If I were to limit my choice to five illustrators you will be among them, okay, three even.
Beautiful work Caroline. Love the fox drawing..wonderful contrasts and the hen is loose and colourful....bw your pics from Macau are gorgeous too! Lucky you! Happy to hear you had a super time. have a great weekend
I really really like both of these--the fox one for the great muted medium, the simplicity of the white on black--perfect for the topic, and the chicken for those absolutely brilliant color. Sigh. (That's a happy sigh....)
That cockerel is brilliant Caroline. I just love the colours and the feathers. The fox is a great response to the theme. You can turn your artistic hand to anything.
I loved browsing the Hong Kong photos and especially love the first building with those complicated and deliciously coloured reflections. My other favourites were the Hong Kong harbour vista..amazing, and those intriuging pharmacy concoctions. I would love to know what they were all for...or perhaps not...haha.
Oh, Caroline, these are incredible as always. Black and white or color, it's always striking and beautiful.
By the way, I recently read a story about a fox that kept stealing into a henhouse and picking off the chickens one by one. But after getting fed up, a rooster and just the few remaining chickens clobbered their intruder one night and pecked him to death! Yes, true!

Love the intensity of the fox's stare. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fox image and the colours in the chicken image are amazing!
ReplyDeleteperfect perspective!! I love the contrast between the two. And I'm loving all that red with the chicken!
ReplyDeleteYIKES! Mend that fence quickly , before that rooster tears into the fox and makes him regret his nosiness!
