Sunday Sketches

I LOVE when the hummingbirds return!

Not only are they the most fascinatingly beautiful little bird, but I also enjoy watching their antics and listening to their whistle while working in the yard.

The Calliope hummingbird even hangs out in our area during the winter. Here is a watercolor and ink sketch of the little guy at rest.

Mini Oils

Third time is the charm, right?!

I gessoed over these 4" X 5" mini canvases for the third time.

With the return of spring come my favorite little birds.

I decided to capture my totem animal on canvas.

Oddly, they post large which misses the point.
