Project V Day Two: Tulip Bulb

Day Two is my interpretation of a tulip bulb.

There are 3 things I would like to state for the record:

1. I never said I wasn't allowed to go outside of the lines.

2. The photographs blow and for that I'm sorry.

3. I'm using pastel, watercolor, gouache, charcoal, and graphite. Every now and again I'll make a pass over the entire thing with a brush full of water allowing all of the pigments from the different mediums to congeal into a nice colorful mess.

Genuine tulip bulb from the earth.

If we were playing You Sunk My Battleship,
the tulip bulb would be located in the (3,4) grid coordinate.

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.
