Project V Day Nine: Oak Leaf

This oak leaf was a cooperative model.

So, below is the grid shot for Day Niner and I can't help but question the original intention...and I quote, "Each section works as an individual drawing but it's existence is necessary to complete one large composition", end quote.

The first few days of the project I just randomly picked a square and banged out a drawing. Bam. Done. Now I pick a subject according to shape and color and must select a square with balance in mind. The outside squares are determining my square for the day and what it will contain. Does that still make each square wholly unique and complete? How could it? Ultimately each square is simply a cog in the big machine but the machine is the "it"...the single entity. Words, words, words....

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.
