Courtenay, your drawing is lovely....the photo is nice, but your sepia drawing manages to add another whimsical dimension to it...good job!

so glad you like it ....

the thing i love about drawing is that it makes you a better observer.

For instance, it wasn't until i was almost finished with this owl that i noticed the CLAW! Look again, and you will see (if you didn't see the first time) the owl's little claw resting gently on the cavity .... as if waiting patiently for someone or something (more likely, like a meal!) to show up!

Even the photographer hadn't noticed!

Glad your still blogging up a storm. Would love to email you again, but you seem to have abandoned the old address. Do you remember my email? We live in Seattle now and I am currently employed in the toy retail world. to borrow from the military- SNAFU!

Rob the lousy birder.
