Project V Day Twenty: Heartnut


Long story short on the skinny of this nut: 
A pal and I had just finished eating calzones under a velvet Elvis painting somewhere near Patagonia, AZ, circa 2010 (paging Lani Hudson...do you read me Lani Hudson??) and we stumbled upon this kickass, cracked-open nut shell.  It looks like a heart.  It looks like an owl face.  Take your pick.

I think it is from a Heartnut tree (I'm not being obvious - it really exists) which is maybe a type of Japanese walnut? But hell, I don't know -- I'm too exhausted to do anymore research.  For all I know it's a petrified raccoon heart.  I think I've hit the wal...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

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 12

I thought I would try something different. I've never sketched/painted a migration pattern. A more detailed series would be fun I do believe.

Day 7

You can see in this baby Magpie's eyes that he is just waiting to grow up and peck your eyes out. Aren't babies of all species supposed to look sweet and kind-hearted? This charcoal and pastel sketch is on a piece of 11"x14" drawing paper. Tuesdays = 12 hour workday which in turn = smaller, meaner sketches.
