POM-Owls and a couple Litho's

[SharonB]

I want to thank Michael for the Owl pattern... here are the first three and have several more to carve. The two litho's were carved in cast acrylic. The first one is a composite of four photos. The second one was from a very old photo and not in that good of shape so was happy that it even carved.72266722657226872269

Sharon,
Holy cow!!! Man that is one heck of a paint job!!!

[blhutchens]

Beautiful paint jobs, wish I had the patience for that kind of work. Most of mine get a coat of stain and a couple clear coats.

Its is amazing that the lithos can bring out an old photo even a really bad one.

Wow, Sharon! I got so excited seeing the owls, I hollered to my wife, "You have GOT to see this!" She is as impressed as I am.

Simply fantastic!

Sharon,

Fantastic work on the owls, your colors are beautiful. What paint are you using? Amazing what a litho does to a treasured photo.

[SharonB]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I was really surprised to see the owls being featured on LHR's Facebook page...thank you for the recognition. Carved two more owls today so will be back painting again soon.

The owls came out great and of course highlighted with a wonderful job on the painting. They lithos look great as well and you do get a feel that the picture is from a bygone time. I am glad the carving captured that. :)

[Capt Bruce]

May I add to the applause from your many fans Sharon. Simply beautiful.

[SharonB]

Thank you Oscarl48, Henry, and Capt. Bruce. When you have a great pattern it's easy to put a finish on it.

Sharon would you consider putting up some painting tutorials on YOUTUBE ??? Nice Nice Nice ....

[farmer]

Really would like to be able to paint like that! Great job!

[SharonB]

ktjwillams and farmer thank you for your comments. I won't have the slightest idea how to put anything on YOUTUBE, sorry.

I think most people are afraid they are going to make a mistake but heck....when applying paint you can always repaint if you don't like the color combinations you picked out the first time. I also have a large photo reference file and/or go on line to get an idea what colors might go together for the project that I'm working on. With the owls, I had about 8 reference photos that gave me ideas of what color combinations I might want to produce. Or You can come over for coffee and we'll sit down and paint. Sharon

What a wonderful job you did on painting the Owls.

I will be shipping all my projects to you that need painting.
Is that OK ????

[SharonB]

Sure Robert...ship away. The only thing is I get to keep a quarter of your projects. :)

[smurfjeep]

Sharon, You should start a daily/monthly tips and tricks on painting techniques alone! Your work inspires the creative side in all of us.

[Bigtyme]
