Project V Day Ten: Acorn Hat

It sits on an acorn's head and you can take it off...it's an acorn hat. I don't know the proper term for it and to be honest if I did I'd still call it an acorn hat.

Siamese acorn hats.

Day Ten grid. I'm beginning to ponder the finishing touches for this work. It's super delicate in that pastel powder dust is sitting on the surface - it needs to be protected. The fragility of a drawing...oh how this topic has weighed so heavy on mind for years. I love it and hate it. I absolutely adore to make a drawing durable and permanent by pouring resin or a clear coat over it but not for this one. My thoughts - a sheet of plexiglass fixed to the front. It's what would be used to cover an insect specimen drawer.

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.
