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.
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.
Hello. I think your sketches are beautiful. :) I'm not an art-lover, but I like your sketches!
