Spring Sparrows

11.75x15.5 acrylics on gessoed matboard, a demo done a couple years ago for Midland TX Palette Club. These sparrows are enjoying a sunny morning sitting on a branch.  With largely neutral colors you can still tell the foliage has not yet turned yellow green in spring.

Chipping Sparrow

6x4 watercolor, ink, Tombow black ink brush pen, gouache of a chipping sparrow painted on the first of the month.  I used another magazine card, those free annoying inserts I like to rip out and throw away, till now when I'm having fun painting watermedia on them.  Other artists are taking up the trend and turning out some superb little pieces.  This one was posted in Sketchbook Skool Facebook page.

Cheery Chickadee

8.5x5.5 watercolor and ink line with Micron 01 pen on Masters paper done today, a cheery little blackcapped chickadee fellow anticipating Spring.  For the background I mixed white gouache with transparent watercolor for a more opaque design.  He will go into the Facebook 20 Birds in 20 Days challenge.

Humming Along

8.5x5.5 watercolor and ink line on Masters paper done today, an Anna's hummingbird nesting close to cherry blossoms with thoughts of spring...not yet! Too soon, but let's think of it anyway.
