Day 14

A mere 50 Attwater's Prairie Chickens live in the wild. They are native to the coastal prairie land of Texas and Southwestern Louisiana. Development has eradicated their fragile habitat.

Through efforts of places like Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, Texas these interesting birds are returning to the wild. This Saturday Fossil Rim is celebrating its 25th anniversary by hosting an outdoor concert and benefit called Bandanas, Boots, & Bison. I am donating this sketch to the auction that will be held that afternoon.

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.

Day 7: Roseate Spoonbill, 12x9"

Roseate Spoonbill, you are one interesting looking dude. Their deep pink coloring is similar to a flamingo. They use their unusual beak to feed on crustaceans by swinging it from side to side as it steadily walks through the water.
