Day 26

Day 26...4 more days! I am not sure if this Ring-tailed Lemur is aware that there is indeed a baby chick on his back. The last few sketches will follow the endangered species/baby chick format. I've been referring to them as the "Many vs. Few" series.

When I finish this installment of the 30 Sketches Project, I shall drag out the others in this series and put on the finishing details. I have a series of endangered bird paintings in progress which I plan to exhibit and give a portion of the proceeds to an avian conservation organization. But why not do the same with this series of sketches. Possibly thinking of having prints available for these. hmmmm....

Project IV Day 18: Turkey Vulture (again)

I can't stop with the Turkey Vultures. I think I might have been one in a past life. Is that why I'm such a dirtbag ?

Project VII-Day Thirty: Grass

     And that is a wrap! Day Thirty's photo was taken at Oliver Nature Park in Mansfield, TX earlier this summer. The labeling of each drawing evolved during the project. In the bottom left-hand corner is the sequence number of the drawing within the 30-day time frame and the location of where the reference photo was taken. My take away from this particular project was having the opportunity to spend more time with a special moment I had in nature. It allowed me to marvel at the intricacies of the plants and animals around us.

Project IV Day 25: Hoatzin Nestling

Yes, this guy does indeed exist. He is a Hoatzin nestling. One thing you should know about these birds is that they are born with two claws on each wing. They are clumsy in flight and use these claws to climb about in their native swamps of Venezuela and Guyana. Once they reach adulthood, they those their claws. Dinosaur times-style.
