On my lunch hour and of an evening I do quick sketches – I did a quick splash of watercolor on the hummingbird. I think I just may do more of those practice pieces!

The original photos for the lunch sketches come from Facebook group: Indiana Birdograpy

 

Nature Journal Feb 2020

White-Breasted Nuthatch

We saw some snow and below freezing temps this week, which brought the birds to the feeders.

I am also working on a journal for Indiana parks I have visited. The painting is done… now to journal the pages for the first one.

We got a bit of icy weather and snow this week. That means more birds at the feeders.

Over my lunch hour, my favorite sketch this week is an eagle from John Baughman’s image on Facebook’s Indiana Birdography.
