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.

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.
