A catch up of some recent paint time

Posted on July 13, 2017 by REcreate-RebeccaEvansCreate

I know I have been slack at posting, but here is a snippet of some of my recent time spent painting. Lots of animals.

 

A special little dog called Hubble from little dog laughed, I had been meaning to paint him for a while after his mum kindly said I could use his photo. He is my favourite dog here on WordPress, take a look at the blog through my link, dogs with character, and of course some great photography effects.

A pair of gorgeous guinea pigs, belonging to a patient at my place of work, they spent many days in her room keeping her company, and are such little chatter boxes.

Another painting for a patient, ‘Minnie’ is an amazon yellow headed parrot, I was asked if I could include her feathers into the painting so used them to create a frame by sticking them on the mount.

‘In thought’ memory of ‘ minnie’ parrot watercolour, 30×40 cm framed and mounted. Mount is covered in feathers from the parrot which were shed during his life time. This is a request from a patient at work, a memory of a special friend sadly missed

Two horses from the fortune centre of riding therapy, they offers an amazing opportunity for teenagers/young adults with special educational needs to participate in a course based around learning through horses the course runs upto a maximum of three years, sadly Ella was put to sleep recently, but good memories remain in the hearts of many.

Two lovely lurches ‘smoker’ and cobweb’ that belong to my daughters boyfriends’ family, I love painting lurches, they are just not easy to get a photograph of, as soon as the camera comes out they go shy! I was lucky on this occasion.

Lastly I was asked by a friend if I could change a picture she had of a cow, it had so much red on it, the poor cow looked like it was in the slaughter house, see what you think??? Here are the before and after photos, I used oil paint to make this cute cow more appealing to her very young daughter,

‘Before’ a friend asked if I could change this cow print for her daughter, it really looks like the cow is in the slaughter house! I took up the challenge and decided to use oil for the make over
‘After’ changing a print for a friend, oil over canvas

Thats all folks, I hope to pop back soon

About REcreate-RebeccaEvansCreate

My name is Rebecca Evans, living in the New Forest I have been inspired to paint the many animals often seen around me. Having ridden since Childhood, painting equines was a natural path to follow. I use a variety of media, watercolour, oil, charcoal, pastel,inks, plus a few more, infact I will try most things. Choosing the medium to work with can really change the effect of the art, and therefore the character of the animal. Sometimes it is an instant decision, sometimes it is the mood from within me which determines which medium I choose to use. I never know what might inspire me next, but if it’s hairy, I will be sure to try.

    I’d say the cow is a definite improvement – much warmer and more inviting! Lovely catch-up collection 🙂

    Amazing work! Love them all. I think the little guinea pigs are my favourite though, they have such adorable little faces. 🙂 xxx

    Oh my goodness Rebecca!! I had to sit down a moment when I saw Master Hubble’s face-this is just beautiful and I believe you have really captured his essence so wonderfully. Your talent continues to enchant and enthrall us-Thank you so much–I cannot express how amazing Hubble’s journey has been from an emaciated and abused little dog to a dog full of confidence (and fans) who take delight in his adventures. If you would ever consider selling this, please let me know. And thank you so much again-Hubble and I are deeply grateful and touched-(and I love all of the animals shown, but those lurchers are elegantly and beautifully done!)
