#forestpond

Do you remember her? THIS is her NOW! Soo.. i thought i saved my little forest creek diorama from the summer sun, but turnes out it got too hot in the cabinet as well😓 I believe the water effect i used was too thick compared to what is advised on the bottle, so that may have had something to do with it too? I learned a lot from it and got some nice photos of it anyway, so it's not that big a loss. Oh well! I'll do better next time😋 #miniature #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #sculptor #sculpture #supersculpy #watereffect #art #artist #thenandnow #update #forestpond #lake #pond #forestdiorama #diorama #miniatures #minatureenvironment #miniaturepond #duck #mallard #pike #perch #fish https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nRmLyF16_/?igshid=1fhcvp5bhzg2b

Here we go, some better pictures and trying again! A male mallard duck is enjoying a calm summer noon in the reeds along the bank of a forest lake. A small group of perch swim through it looking out for their next meal, and potential predators. Not far off at the outskirts of the reeds, a larger perch observes them, making it's mind up if one of them will be it's next meal. Little do any of the perch know that they are being watched by a subadult pike further out. The lightning fast hunter is a force to be reckoned with as it doesn't need to lurk much closer before it can grab any of them! . I really did enjoy making this, despite my frustration on the leaking water effect (Fuller seems to be more runny than others that I've seen in tutorial videos). I learned a LOT and I feel confident that my next diorama featuring water will be a lot better! The next will be a paleo oriented one #miniature #forestpond #lake #pond #sculpture #artist #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #art #supersculpy #watereffect #forest #diorama #arts #artsandcrafts nature #pike #perch #mallard #duck #fish #forestdiorama #seafoam #seafoamtree #sculptor #paleoartist #sunny #summer #visualstorytelling #handmade #forestpond #birdwatching #animals #animalart #natureart #natureinart (at Drammen, Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvbrL2qFTG9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=104w1f6b0wt7l

Forest Pond There were various trails created by wildlife leading to the pond. #frozenpond #forestpond #pondice #winterice #chilliwackrivervalley #explorechilliwack #mytravellinglens (at Chilliwack River Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHSnUap28w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Do you ever just, paint a painting?

My somewhat daily compute took me past what I referred to as “Geddes Pond”. I happened to see an almost daily snapshot of Geddes Pond over a period of a couple of years. During winter the pond was usually frozen over and snow covered. Just a few sticks poking up. Spring brought new growth of reeds replacing the old dry brown with fresh green young sprouts. In summer it sometimes dried exposing a mud bottom. In the Autumn it was a riot of colour and that is the view I chose to paint. Oh yes! About the different name. I have Google maps to thank for that. There is a small stream, Snidecar Drain that feeds the pond and exits under Geddes Rd.

WATERMILL Listen to the water-mill Through the livelong day, How the clicking of its wheell Wears the hours away! Languidly the autumn wind, stirs the forest leaves, From the field the reapers sing, Binding up their sheaves; And the proverb haunts my mind As a spell is cast– “The mill cannot grind With the water that has past.” (Sarah Doudney) ҉ ∅ 27mm (1,06“) watercolor miniature.
