I've done a lot of art in that time, mostly coloured pencil. I've been exploring a more whimsical style lately which seems to be quite popular. I have also recently opened up a Zazzle shop where prints, greeting cards, cushions and more can be purchased featuring my artwork. The link is in the right hand column or visit here: <a href="http://www.zazzle.com.au/catherinegabrielart?rf=238390630662843899" target="_blank">Catherine Gabriel Art Zazzle Shop</a>.<br />
<br />
Here are a few examples of what I've been doing lately. I hope people are still following this blog, I hope to update it more regularly from now on :)<br />

The first bird I have chosen is a cockatiel. This is actually my cockatiel Jakey or he used to be at least, he actually lives with my Mum now. Oil on Gessobord panel, 6" x 6".<br />

I've been experimenting with some different techniques and believe I have come up with a style that is quite unique. This is my latest piece "Rabbit", Collage & Acrylic on stretched canvas, 10" x 12".<br />

I wanted to paint a cat with amber eyes and decided to use this lovely reference from the Wet Canvas photo reference library. This is how far I've got, still a bit more detail needed in the fur and he needs whiskers too...<br />

My first attempt was a beautiful closeup of a silver Persian. I've actually done this picture before but in coloured pencil. I'm so much happier with this oil version though..<br />

Next I decided to paint a cute little kitten lying back on a blanket. This one was more challenging as there was a lot more fur to paint but I was happy with the results...</div>

Ink paints in powder form. You can either sprinkle it on paper and then spray with water, or add water to it on a palette and use like watercolour etc.. You can create some very interesting effects. It's messy and unpredictable but I have managed to do two paintings so far that I'm pretty pleased with. Looking forward to experimenting with it more.<br />

Handcrafted owls, painted with acrylic paint. I have a brand new website especially for the owls here: <a href="http://www.owlemporium.com/">www.owlemporium.com</a><br />
I also have an Owl Emporium facebook page here: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Owl-Emporium/490545881000527">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Owl-Emporium/490545881000527</a><br />

I would love all of my blog followers to visit my new pages and also support me on facebook and please share with people who you think might be interested. I find it difficult to get the word out sometimes and would love some help :)<br />

Anyway I'm happy with the progress of this painting so far.<br />

Still more work to do on it but it's looking ok so far I think. The bird's feet get a bit lost as they are the same colour as the tree, I'll have to rectify that. A few areas of the bird need more work too but I think this painting is nearing completion.<br />

I was starting to get a bit bamboozled with all the different feathers in the end. It's not completely accurate according to the photo but I don't mind that, it's my own interpretation.<br />
