New piece – feathers and broken eggshell in a box
Here is a photo of the piece I am currently working on. The two blue jay feathers are still in process; the lower, spotted feather and egg are pretty much complete.

A quote for thought
I will be posting a photograph of my new drawing tomorrow. It’s an exciting change for me and I’m having a lot of fun working on it. In the meantime, here’s a quote I’ve always been amused by.
“It has ever been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues” -Abraham Lincoln

Gray rainy day thoughts
It’s so gray and rainy, and it seems like it’s been gray for days. I’m in between pieces of artwork and have cleaned my studio in spots, and as I don’t have any concrete ideas of what I want to do next, I started experimenting on black Canson paper with colored pencil. Here is a little portrait of a Tufted Titmouse, “Toughy”. I think I’m starting to go crazy!

Spring and color!
The hummingbird has emerged, hovering over it’s as yet unopened flower, waiting, much like myself waiting for spring! This is almost complete, I just need to tweak the hummingbird a little in certain places.

Amaryllis and Hummingbird drawing continued
I have just finished the amaryllis plant and started on the Hummingbird. There is great tension between the unopened flower and hovering bird, which I look forward to developing. (Click on thumbnail and then on next image for best view).

Amaryllis/Hummingbird drawing continued
I am having fun working on this piece and using such bright, saturated and vivid colors! The contrast between the complimentary reds and greens is a charge for me!

New piece commemorating the coming of Spring!
Okay, I will admit it. . . I am tired of winter, and spring is only a few weeks away, at least according to the calendar. When you live in the Northeast, one really can’t rule out snow until almost three weeks into April. That said, I am very excited for spring to come along, in fact, I am waiting, just like the hummingbird in this drawing, for the greens to emerge and flowers to open. More to follow soon. (Click on photo, and then on next pop-up for best view).
