superb
  Tracy Hall is an absolutely superb watercolourist, an amazing animal artist and a hugely talented miniaturist who paints nature in detail. She combined these talents to win The Royal Miniature Society Gold Memorial Bowl this year (2008). That's the top prize at the oldest miniature art society in the world. Tracy also paints for charitable purposes and natural history illustrations. Her series of works about birds is particularly interesting. If you want to see somebody consistently producing top quality animal and nature art and read the blog of somebody who is also generous about sharing and giving then read this blog. I've been one of Tracy's #1 fans since I first found it. I am genuinely in awe of her talents and skills.
