Almost There

Posted on March 26, 2008 by Tania

Only two more sleeps until the Regina Federation of Artists Spring Show & Sale. I thought I’d show you another board I’ve been working on for this show:

Up Close and Personal: African Lion, work in progress. Scratchboard, detail. Copyright 2008, Tania Nault.

The reference for this board comes from photographer Scott Liddell and is used with his permission. I was drawn to the lion’s intense gaze and play of light and dark – which I believe I can push even further with scratchboard and turn his daylight photo into an evening or night hunt scene.

About Tania

I'm an artist, specifically a wildlife artist. And how exactly does one know she is an artist, specifically a wildlife artist? Well, only artists get excited about new art supplies, "Mmm, unmarked claybord..." or discovering a new satin sheen spray varnish *sigh* And only a wildlife artist gets distracted during a very serious conversation with her exceptionally supportive spouse by a fledgling sparrow taking it's first shaky flight across the yard.
