All Day Dining Painting size 15" x 11" |
In 2009 Adelaide Zoo acquired on loan from China for ten years, two Giant Pandas. Funi and Wang Wang have huge appetites and each consume about 20-30kgs of bamboo everyday. There is even a donation program you can join if you have the right species of bamboo growing and you would like to help the Zoo manage this huge requirement. I really enjoyed painting my Panda as they look so adorable. Whilst I did the background I wanted to make sure I kept the face area really clean so I used packing tape to mask it out otherwise I could see half a bottle of masking fluid being needed.
A Beautiful animal dealt with lovely by a painting
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul,did not think it would be a Panda today but he has been nagging to be done and today was it!
DeleteAwww...Lorraine, your panda is so sweet. I love the eyes. Great tidbit about the bamboo consumption!
ReplyDeleteYes Sherry - the eyes - he does have a bit of a stare, perhaps he think I'm after his bamboo!
DeleteFab-u-lous! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Polly, might have to get back to flowers soon before I forget what to do!
DeleteLorraine, this is a joy to look at, your rendition and this beautiful animal.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing it .. BJ
Hi Barbra, thanks for your kind comment. I had not thought I would enjoy painting animals some months ago but since I started I do love it.
DeleteBeautiful!!! You did a great job shading the fur on his face after you saved it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like him (her?) Joan
ReplyDeleteWell done, Lorraine. I love his (her) little teeth!!!
ReplyDeletethanks Terry my aim with more practice is to get more loose with painting animals, something I don't find as easy to do as loose flowers
DeleteHello Lorraine:) Oh how adorable! You did such a good thing on the face. The expression is so lovely. I think it is wonderful that the lower part of the painting is lighter than the rest.. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Renate
