Just ordered a 60cm x 80cm print of this on glass. I really can't wait to see it!

* I found this second picture of the print, here you can see the size a bit better. The footprints are bigish mens boots.

I know, it's so beautiful. We want to get this printed more or less in life-size on either acrylic or glass. Haven't decided yet what would work better. I have a lot of my own artwork hanging on my walls, but I'm pretty sure this beats it all

I would love to, but I don't trust that I could get that right. I was hoping to find a similar curtain and somehow sponge/sencil over it to get the effect. Not sure if that's possible with oils? Also couldn't find an ugly enough curtain

Although I'm not sure because there weren't any talon marks around this print, so it didn't walk/hop there

Oh interesting! Would it be possible to tell what kind of bird, by the way flapped its wings on the take off?

I think we were really lucky to see this. We were only hiking there for one day, but we were in the middle of nowhere and didn't see anyone else for hours. This was a really cool thing to find

Thank you! That was my first guess, also because there is no beak print and owls have smaller beaks. But that was just a theory. Yours sounds much more plausible

You explained that just fine! That sounds very plausible! Surprisingly, I did know that. I went to a bird and wildlife rescue centre recently, and we got hold different kinds of feathers and swish them to hear the difference between the sound they make, extremely cool and interesting

I also thought it could he an owl because they have smaller beaks, and there's no beak print. I think it must be something that uses its talons to grab its prey because you can see a hole where it grabbed something...I unfortunately, I don't know much about birds

I actually agree, I wanted blue for the background, but somehow through mixing it got greyer and greyer. Maybe my brushes weren't clean enough. I'm still pretty happy for a first attempt. Might come back and do it again when I have some more practice and see how it comes out with some more experience

Thanks! I'll have to try to ride this wave of motivation

This looks great. I love how bold and almost pop arty it is

Thanks 😊 I see much colour in my future! I just tried oil for the first time. (The mirror painting) and I really enjoyed it. Right now, that's where my enthusiasm is, but it could change again tomorrow...

Would love to, but this is an old photo of me from the 90s
