A while back I was lucky enough to run into Mary Pounder at WildCare, and take some photos of the Peregrine Falcon, Peli, that now lives there. I am finally getting around to painting this beautiful bird. I'm creating the bird from a mix of many photos, but mainly the two above, one for the bottom wing, one for the top. No photo I take ever seems quite perfect, and I get used to piecing together what I need.
And now I can incorporate my love of sky and clouds with the bird. A long vertical compostion with the bird at the bottom and clouds filling up the rest.
I'll keep you posted.
