Sharing a photograph today.. Hopefully followed by some more #artwork

After days hiding at home a visit to #AfricaAlive today was well worth it. Managed to get a couple of good photographs of the African Hunting Dogs today.

A graphite drawing of a reticulated giraffe. I decided to add branches to the top of this drawing. The original photograph I captured was the giraffe just moving its head in circles.

I've been busy trying to get some #artwork finished. Today 📷 a #photograph I took in July at #ThrigbyHall #RedPanda Having the best run around. It took a while #accessibility difficulties trying to get my ♿ in the right direction to get a good picture it's a little tight, was worth it to get this.

♿ After a steep climb in my #wheelchair I managed to capture this #photograph.

#Racoon eventually stood still long enough and I found a small gap when I could eventually see. No complaints it was really 🥵 I enjoyed hiding in the shade.

So excited, after a few visits I eventually got to see the #RedPanda in the tree. Must admit it took a while, and lots of looking up!

But from my #wheelchair I managed to capture this #portrait photo of the red panda.

A2 Graphite Drawing of the Medway Queen, this paddle steamer is referenced to the 1940s, this drawing is from its earlier day post WW2. 

Drawing shows the portside, with waves breaking the bow as she paddles on. Smoke fills the sky from the funnel as passengers enjoy the views.

Main focal point is the paddle steamer, the background is just suggestive with the sea and breaking waves, the clouds in the skyline are detailed enough to keep your attention to the paddle steamer and clouds.

#Artshare, 60th Anniversary gift. My in-laws helped back in the day when the Medway Queen was in a bad condition in the 1990s until funded by the lottery. This is now framed for their anniversary.

Todays share of my completed #sloth drawing.

Its been a year since I started, due to #fibromyalgia I can only draw for a short time so my #artwork takes me longer to complete.

Enjoy!

Thank you 😊 I am new to sharing my artwork, I see the outside through others photos and art, my agrofobia keeps me indoors so I enjoy the opportunity to see the world through others. Will definitely follow. Thanks again.

Today I'm sharing my A0 size #drawing I was asked to do a couple of years ago.

First time drawing a #horse and this big. It took months to finish, I never thought I would get it framed! It was hard work but I enjoyed the detail I achieved.

I decided I would #artshare my drawing of Meaka and Lana.

I was asked to draw just the heads, with no background. The owners though it was a print, and was blown away when told its a drawing, they really love it!

I choose this frame to finish it off.
