Woodpeckers bang on trees to discover the insects inside. My experience with detectives is that they are just as hard-headed – but no long stories this week. I wrote too much last time. The woodpecker is 3” x 5 ½”, scratchboard with pen and ink, printed with brown ink on ivory stock. Friday, April 16, 2010

This is lovely. It may seem trivial, but I especially love the way you handled the background.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I did the background pretty fast, and sometimes good things happen when I don't think too much :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I did the background rather fast. Things work out better if I don't overthink them sometimes.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm not nuts. The computer didn't show my first response, so I typed it again. Now they're both there. Mercury went into retrograde today! lol
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pic. Love the background too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like your "linked" illustration on your site too.
ReplyDeleteLove the sepia tone. Is that a red bellied woodpecker? They're really pretty birds.
ReplyDeleteGood call! I had to get out my bird book and look it up. Yes, a red bellied woodpecker :)
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I like the whole feel of it! And so well executed!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda! You have a way of showing the right amount of details and present them so naturally... This little woodpecker is stunning and the lights make him even more beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
