Day 18

I've been trying very hard recently to balance my life: work, art, home. I want to make sure nobody or nothing is neglected but at the same time give 100% to all three. Art always seems to win out. I am sure it comes across as selfish and I've come to the conclusion that I must be pretty difficult to live with. I decided to put the hostile energy I was feeling at the time into this sketch of an American Crow. I really enjoyed working on it. I would like to look at these "butcher paper studies" in a more thoughtful light rather than only seeing them as practice.

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.
