Owls

Here are the finished faces of four British Owls which will make up part of the final major project. They've been a pleasure to do - perhaps now I will try more of a challenge, and the next set will be fish?!

Watching Over You

Since the dissertation I have been working on the final major project. I've been approaching the assignment from several different angles, and basically I just wanted to do too many different things. But with gathering my ideas under the title 'Watching Over You'  it has helped to make sense of it...well at least to me!

These are the first few images I've been working on.

I wanted to concentrate on the eyes of the animals, as the title suggests, but the circular boarder around their face may suggest being watched through binoculars, or the barrel of a gun, so is the viewing for conservation purposes or commercial reasons or a combination of the two? And of course they may be watching us.
