Wren Update #1


Greetings, my fine feathered friend!
While working on this drawing, I can often hear the real wren singing outside my window.  He has the most beautiful song!  And how he flits around bobbing his tail is adorable.  He is a very endearing muse :)
Happy Flying!

Songbirds in Colored Pencil




Greetings, my fine feathered friend!
I usually work on multiple pieces at a time, and lately I have been doing some smaller 5x7 inch drawings.  My drawing table sits in front of my window so whenever I'm working I can watch our resident songbirds.  These three drawings feature some of our feathered visitors: American goldfinch, nuthatch, and wren.  The wren with his funny little tail-flicking movement and gorgeous voice has become my favorite songbird to watch, and I'm currently working on another wren drawing.
Happy Flying!
