White Capped Noddy Birds in Nest

11x15 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper; the mother bird is looking out of her nest to unseen dangers.  Her little one is covered by her protective wing.  Branches and twigs were negatively painted within a multicolored natural background.  These birds are seabirds of the tern family.

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.
