Nighteyes

Nighteyes (2017) c. Jules Mitchell.

For about twenty years I’ve been reading a series by Robin Hobb. In March the final book was released and it had the most satisfying ending to a wonderful series. A major character is Nighteyes and this is my attempt to portray the wolf.

 

American Kestral

American Kestral- Charleston Aquarium (2016) c. Jules Mitchell.

 Though it is an aquarium and a very impressive one at that, they have several rescued birds who are too injured to be returned to the wild. There is even a huge Bald Eagle who had had an argument with a power line and lost. This kestrel just looked so grumpy I couldn’t resist trying to capture his expression.

Otter

Otter in Charleston  (2016) c. Jules Mitchell

Taken at the Charleston Aquarium. He posed for me so beautifully and as not too many people stopped by to see what I was drawing I managed to get a lot done.

Cats at Ephesus

Cats at Ephesus (2017) c. Jules Mitchell

 We were so lucky to arrive at Ephesus early in the morning on a very foggy day. The place was deserted and Gary took some fabulous shots. When the sun came out it warmed up and these cats were basking in the 2000-year-old ruins much the same as their ancestors had done for generations.
