Description
Andrea, durleybeachbum was to kind and let me use her lovely toad shot as a source for a painting. Thank you, Andrea :-) I began with Acrylic on a large canvas, but I am having so much trouble with the eyes, so I had to take a break from it and so... I changed medium and made this little pastel of the same motif. I hope I can finnish the other soon.
Thank you for viewing and commenting. :-)

Saw this when it went up, and rose to my feet. Pastels bring out an immediacy that contrasts with the quiet pastoral nature of the scene. You've truly painted, with the chalks, getting very smooth hues and "washes". And your details are beautiful too, with fine lines for the grasses, the eyes, the spots on the frog, the white lines around the frog (they're water lines, but they look like electricity). A very restful image, but very alive. And the deep murky shadows of plants in water are captured with dark mystery, making the frog a real emerging 'triumph' in the image. Beautiful work on the tall shoots in front, too, very oil-like. (Oil painting.) A great job. I don't know what happened to the acrylic version, and I hope you can go back to it if you want to resurrect it; but if it led to this, it served you beautifully.
Oh what a beautiful and soft recording of Andrea's Toad, I guess you don't have to finish your acrylic, for me 'this is IT'. :D
