Description Anoles are a small, smooth skinned, green or brown lizard native to Florida, though they've spread to many southeastern states. The anole has become common in NC and we often see them around the house and hiding in the bushes. They're particularly fond of our decorative evergreens. They like to perch on the finger-like foliage and sleep there at night. They're not too bothered about being discovered and at the least they'll give you a lazy stare and nod off again.

Just 4 more illustrations to paint, phew! This ink took long enough as it is!

"Anole Loafer" 8x6" ink on matteboard

Will be for sale after November 23rd (Roy's Folks Craft Fair, NC), is framed in an antique black frame with a speckled green matte.

Anoles surely are cute! They have such thin, funny feet. You're lucky to have them! We can't watch any wild reptiles over here... The Blue anole has a wonderful colour, by the way.

With so many dots and lines, it might be hard not to lose sight of contrasts, I guess, but you did really well (as always, anyway)! Did you move away from the drawing a few times in between, I wonder?

Is it too cold in Germany for little lizards?

I had to look at it from a distance a lot! Up close it looks like a mess of dots and scribbles, so to actually see what I was doing I had to hold it away from me and stare a few moments so I could see what to do next.

We do have lizards, but not up here in the North. There are some warmer regions, but I think they're still quite rare everywhere... Luckily, all reptiles are protected by law here.

Looking at it from a distance is always very helpful. Jelka criticised many of my older paintings and drawings because I forgot to do it and lost sight of the contrats. Oops!

... that's all stippling, isn't it?

ART-fromthe-HEART In reply to Slipping-Star [2013-11-24 21:05:27 +0000 UTC]

Well, not all stippling, there's a lot of scribbling and cross-hatching in there too.
