Description
More quail! (I just love their little topknots...)My original plan with this one was to change up the colors. I did a piece mostly in red and blue-violet. I had a plan.
After about six hours, I over painted most of it in heavy black, stamped "Art is Hard" on it white ink, and threw it into a corner of the studio, hopefully never to be seen again, and went back to the color scheme that was definitely working for me. Experimentation is important, but sometimes, so is knowing when to quit.
Anyway! Mixed media and collage, 6 x 8 on panel, ready to hang or could be framed. Original is for sale, prints available at Red Wombat Studio: [link]

Hi there I am doing a search for "Talk to me" to find an illustration for the "comments" in a newsletter I send out about setting strategy.
This would be really good if you are OK for me to use it.
I would credit you and provide a link back to your site.
Please let me know if you are OK with that.
Thanks

I hate quail, they eat my strawberries. (I do enjoy their company on the dinner plate, however.)

I think following inspiration is important when there is a huge drive to do something specific. Sometimes we can create something according to our wishes, sometimes we should let art possess us.
Yay quails

Should I keep faving almost all your stuff? I want to fave some of the golden oldies like "Vally of Wang" and "Morning Wood" (the cup of coffee had me cracking up) but I don't know if I am there yet. D:

i adore these!! I really like the texture and of course the quails are just brilliant.
I think they are talking about philosophy....
Any chance you would do a tutorial about your techniques??

SO TRUE. I feel much more like a "real" artist when people I adore and respect also make comments like that!

I just cannot get over how cute these are! And how well the different techniques just sort of ... *work* together, even though it seems that they shouldn't.
