Project V Day Twenty Three: Inside Indigo Muscle Shell

Here is yet another shell from New Zealand. Besides the 45 minutes it sat in my dirty watercolor palette to model for today's study, this indigo blue muscle shell lives in a jar with other treasures collected from my time in NZ. Below is a photo taken the day I picked up this little shell, it has traveled far from where it was born...

Day 24: Willow Grouse, 12x9"

Willow Grouse in the house!

Day 20

I felt it necessary to do an illustration of the main characters in my pretend children's book entitled, Sheriff Farthright and Bangles: Lost in Los Angeles. Until this day, I never knew I even had a pretend children's book. It is not available in stores near you. Sheriff Farthright is a Yellow-rumped Seed-eater and his faithful steed, Bangles, is a Parrot-finch. Note Farthright's mighty stache. His badge shines as brightly as his character. Bangles is only seconds away from taking to the sky. I can actually hear Audubon rolling over in his grave due to the flagrant misuse of bird depictions.

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 ?
