More Dabblings

akuni requested black and white bamboo and a hummingbird with cherry blossoms and was willing to pay for postage, so I tried.



First just a warmup of something that didn't come out anything like I wanted it to, but it's nicely symbolic or something....


Then the bamboo:


It that one okay, Akuni?

Then a first attempt at the hummingbird and cherry blossoms. I'm keeping this one for myself, the bird came out drabber than I liked, and the branch faded, but I like the placements a lot.


Learning from the first, I brightened up the colors and tried to flip the bird from my reference (Walter Foster's Chinese Brush Painting) and made one wing inside out, so I threw that one away. Then I finally got this:


Hope you like it, akuni.

They're beyond ok, they're fabulous, gorgeous, and MINE ALL MINE! :D

I saw them on dA this morning, and I was so excited. I'm going to change what I said on the first hummingbird pic - I was looking on my EeePC so I didn't really get to see the full thing properly. I think the layout is actually pretty great. I hope you have room left on your walls to put it up somewhere, heehee!

Thank you so much for these, I can't wait to display them. I shall send you a note with my address and such. :)

I love possessiveness over things I made. Hee. XD

Yay!! I'm very glad that you like it so much!

Excellent! I'm glad that I can get them to you.
