Day 12: Corn Bunting, 9x12"

I had a cool thing happen this week (and its only Tuesday). I received an email from a conservationist that had just moved to a small Scottish island to work in an attempt to stop the Corn Bunting from disappearing from UK shores.

He wrote that his flat is in need of some artwork and what better subject than the Corn Bunting of course! He stumbled upon my shop while perusing the vastness that is etsy.com and asked if I would be interested in making a Corn Bunting sketch. Uhhhh...yeah I would be interested. Me making art for someone helping to save the life of a critter? Sign me up!

Above is the finished product. It was intimidating doing a sketch of a bird that I am unfamiliar with for someone that knows every detail of the species. I hope he enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it.
