:iconheliocyan:

I'm delighted that two of my wildlife paintings made it to the finals of the BBC Wildlife Artist of the year 2012 competition! It's the Tawny Owl in the category 'British Birds' and a jellyfish in 'Natural World'.

Please, wish me luck! :)

I was going through my favorites and came upon Niroot's "Leonardo's Angel" piece. I recall that I told him about an artist who works in gold metal point and read both of you went to the exhibit at London"s National Gallery. I thought I would share the info with you as well. If anything, you may enjoy looking at his work.

The artist is Gordon Hanley. I discovered his technique of drawing in gold in an article of International Artist #80 (Aug/Sep 2011). His website is www.gordonhanley.com

Oh, thank you so much, Seth! I have not heard of him before. Fantastic to see there are artists keeping old techniques alive.

His work is quite impressive, although he defeats the object slightly by completely filling out his backgrounds (in my humble and unworthy opinion). This media is so wonderfully delicate, nearly airy. That is what makes the old Renaissance illustrations so magically - to me, anyway. Metal-point used as if it was charcoal destroys this unique look and his work looks very heavy. I do *love* how Niroot managed to keep the spirit of the original painting and technique very much alive. I think this medium suits him very well.

There is another wonderful Leonardo DaVinci exhibition on at the moment: All his anatomical work which is property of the royal family. They show it until the 7th of October. I know it's unlikely, but just in case you should be in London until then, I can only recommend it! Have a look at this little video they produced to advertise the exhibition: [link]

I know, we are spoilt here! :)

Love your traditional art. You obviously like cats. Even the only one of a person 'Temptation' looks feline!
