SciFi and Fantasy Art: Golden Songgryphons On Quinces

August 2004 - 40cm x 30cm - Oil paint

Finally, another picture with golden songgryphons, the most famous species of my cute little fellows. Here for the first time in oils. I made this especially for an exhibition. Cross fingers for me, maybe it even finds a buyer! :)

Hi Esther. I think you mispelled the title. Your songgryphons are absolutely adorable as ever. I`d suggest you should try more to paint with highlights, light and shadow. Did I tell you I`d like to have one of those?12

18 Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Oh! Thank you, Nathalie! *Goes to the Extranet to correct the title.* You're right, I'm always a bit reluctant to paint with more highlights and shadows. Some day I'll have to overcome that fear to ruin a nice picture by trying to give it more of that. Maybe I should try it digitally, first. There's that nice redo-button. ;-)"

*does first comment dance* (but very quiet, because I do not want to make the shy fellows flee). Again they are very sweet and nice, so I wand to cuddle them. And as I can see your little songgryphons really like fruit and berries - on many pictures there are on or playing with them. Do they eat them too or do they need flesh and other things?

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hi Christel! They mainly eat small insects, they hunt. But I suppose they don't despise to pick on fruits and berries now and then, especially in winter, when they can't find their prey that easily. Those that don't fly south, that is. (Technically: I just like to draw them in such still lifes. It's the first time ever that I don't find still lifes dead boring. ;-))"

Wow!!!!! Did you have someone like Rubens as your muse? Thats so great! It really looks like a picture from the Renaissance! Why shouldn't you find a buyer? If I would have the money, I would definetley want t have it!

2 Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Yes, indeed I want those dark still lifes to look like Renaissance pictures. Thank you for the encouragement! I'll have to wait and see. 2"

Ooooh, again some Songgryphons! Me want one too 2 He could fly together with my canary birds, they surely would be nice friends *lol* And you're right: still life is even more interesting with such cute lil' songgryphons in them!

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much, Kerstin! Hmmm. A canary coloured songgryphon...! I recently did some Ara - coloured ones, but I bet canarys would also fit well. *imagines a picture with canarys and canary-songgryphons in a cage* 2"
