Alto Chickadee

6.5x7.5 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper done this afternoon in about 30 minutes, very loosely painted of a black-capped chickadee I photographed in Alto, New Mexico last September.  The bird in the pine tree allowed me to get very close as he had his eye on my full bird feeder.  Mountain wildlife is very interesting.

Chickadee Season

9x12 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper completed this afternoon.  I've used the same bird sketch from a few days ago and flipped it, then its coloring to that of a black-capped chickadee.  We see plenty of them when in New Mexico and this fellow is perched on some type of plant I can't identify.  Autumn leaves in orange, rust and red complete the natural wildlife.  Splatters added when dry.
