Project V Day Seventeen: Magnolia Tree Leaf

I'm 99% certain that this is a leaf from a Magnolia tree. I'm pretty darn good at identifying birds but I have a lot to learn about the rest of nature. I've been using the Texas A&M Forest Service website to help me with tree identification and it's been super helpful. Behind the leaf are the three brushes I've used everyday for the last 17 days. I love them very much.

These have been my tools. A lot of stuff goes into a little leaf.

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 ?

Day 12

I thought I would try something different. I've never sketched/painted a migration pattern. A more detailed series would be fun I do believe.

Day 7

You can see in this baby Magpie's eyes that he is just waiting to grow up and peck your eyes out. Aren't babies of all species supposed to look sweet and kind-hearted? This charcoal and pastel sketch is on a piece of 11"x14" drawing paper. Tuesdays = 12 hour workday which in turn = smaller, meaner sketches.
