A few days ago I started this 10 x 14 Watercolor of a Buck in Velvet, browsing around some thistle. If you remember back this past winter I worked up a graphite and colored pencil of this same Buck. Really, I just couldn't stand the green background I had put in that painting. So I decided to try him in watercolor and I like this so much better. The thistle are from my own reference images I took of them here in my backyard where the woods meet the lawn path.
This painting is the same size and orientation as the Kestrel painting. I think they shall make a nice pair.
At the moment, the Kestrel painting is off being photographed to make Giclee Reproductions. If you would like to have a 10 x 14 Giclee of "The next generation, Am. Kestrel Falcon", let me know. The Giclee will be ordered and printed soon. Here's the image of "The next generation, Am. Kestrel Falcon" :
I also am working on a commission of an Airedale Dog for a client and creating the "Painting a child a day" each day, Monday through Fridays. I'm now off to ship out two Equine Paintings to the "Art at the Classic", Draft Horse Classic, in Grass Valley, Ca.
I have a fan page on Face Book too. Look up to the side bar of this Blog and you will find a link to it. I'm up to 185 Fans! It's a nice page and I'm enjoying keeping it up to date. My Blogs also feed into those pages.
I just recently joined, as a "Sustaining Associate Member" the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society.

Fantastic work Deb, the buck looks like it will be pure Flood - beautiful finish on the falcon too. You have a real touch for the natural world; amazing translation indeed.
Thank you Zian. I appreciate your wonderful comment.
