Day 28: Fallen Baby Bird, 14x11"

This is my homage to all of the baby birds that have fallen far from their nests. Even though your lives were short, you made my heart happy and I think of you often.

I came across this photo in a most random way. The photographer said he found this little guy in the middle of the sidewalk. After taking his picture he scooped him up and set him near a tree. Near a tree, huh? I sure hope the tree trunk elevator is in working order today cause that is the only way this dude is getting to the top.

I am not here to judge but the words under this original photo were empty. I can't help but think of what happened to this little guy. Was he scared as he craned his neck to watch the people as they passed by?

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 ?

Day 20

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.
