I photographed the Bluebird on Teasel this spring and did the sketch work in Topaz Impression.

This is glorious Ron. Subtle interplays of light and shade, great pose and a feel of done by the hand of man. Top drawer! Congrats on the EP too Ron!
Make your life spectacular!

I would not have known this was not a pencil sketch. Perfectly done.

Superb, Ron! Beautiful tones and textures-the teasel is especially suited for this kind of work too- great choice. (Of course I love the bluebird too). :)
