Description
An adorable little male Gambel's quail zips among the rocks, scurrying for cover ... he's fast ... don't blink, you'll miss him!
My visit to Tucson, Arizona a few years back was like being dropped on the far side of the moon. A totally different world to what I'm accustomed to ... temperature, architecture, landscape, quality of the light and wildlife were all completely new to me.
The little Gambel's quail seen here was one of several that I spotted during my visit. I must say, these guys were tough birds to photograph. They are very fast and they seemed to enjoy teasing me with sightings of their cute little selves only when the light was at its harshest and when they knew I'd have a heck of a time getting close enough for a decent shot.
But I did manage one ... hope you enjoy!!
Image hand-painted, digitally, and very loosely inspired by one of my own photos. Painted in Corel Painter with a Wacom tablet, the art pen, and a variety of beautiful brushes.
Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."

Lois Bryan replied:
Marilyn thank you so much ... if you could have seen me scurrying around after these guys with my camera ... settings perfect for shade and bam ... they're in the bright light ... AHH!!! So cute but so frustrating!!!!! If you enjoyed him, though, that makes it all worthwhile!!!!

They managed teasing you eh? Another special work here Lois, textures, what do you use? Your treatments are extremely brilliant and I see very few that could come close to your technical expertise of presenting these works. I love the part once again of you not knowing if you got a good one because of their movement. It seems when you feel that way you always do and I know its the same with me. Anyway I love this one.
