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 24: Willow Grouse, 12x9"

Willow Grouse in the house!

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.

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 ?
