Day 21

Did you know that the endangered Three-toed Sloth moves so slowly that algae actually grows on its coarse fur? Sloths are extremely awkward when on land but are graceful swimmers. They sleep from 15-20 hours a day! Did you also know that I am newly obsessed with them? That is probably pretty obvious. This sketch is keeping with the endangered species/baby chick theme. I am not quite sure if these are preliminary drawings for a series of paintings or if they can or will stand on their own.

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.

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 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.
