stag with attitude
 

As I was sketching this fellow at the zoo the other day he kept hissing at me and tried to bite me. Done from memory and imagination.

Red headed woodpeckers are my favorite although I know that one is pileated! Thanks for painting it.

Here is a little painting from my daydreaming, 6"x6"
(hint to self - I need a vacation)

A couple of paintings from my 6"x6" sketchpad
 

more 6"x6"
 

...because I post so many on instagram I have resigned myself to painting on small squares of paper... Art is so healing and a fantastic relaxation exercise which sometimes turns into a meditation.

Here's a little weasel, and a budgie. (Good thing they're separated as I don't think they'd get along.) :D

Hen longingly looking at her egg is great! And rabbit is so cute. I love the orange colours, and the shades of the fur too.

Thanks Josephine! :smile:

The details are so exact and you colors so vibrant! Beautiful Uma

Nice work Uma! I really like the bunny :)

Lynx in the Rockies

I love this, all cats are amazing. Do you see much nature, or all these pure imagination?

Thank you. It's both. I'm aiming for 100% imagination but I do need to check references photos for the animals and birds as I haven't yet memorized what parts go where, proportions etc. I prefer to sketch from life - for things like this I need to go to a zoo and then imagine it in a more natural setting. Thanks for asking.

Thank you for sharing, Uma. Really enjoyed browsing this thread.

Lovely paintings. Great talent

I call this one espionage

foxes foxes foxes
 

I saw the most beautiful red fox in the forest the other day - with a thick fluffy coat. We looked at each other for a moment then he ran off, peeping at me from behind a log. I just can't stop painting foxes. These are all watercolours done from imagination.

That's nice Uma. Vibrant colours. The European robin doesn't have those beautiful blue eggs either. I love robins. They're very bold.

What a cuty! Thanks Josephine!
