"Is Anybody Home?"

watercolor

11" by 14" 100lb. paper

A watercolor painting of a birdhouse on a cotton wood tree. The birdhouse is a wren house with a very small entry hole for the birds. When you get up close and look in you can see it has been stuffed with nesting material over the years. You wonder how many generations of wrens have been raised there.

"Is Any Body Home?" Colored Pencil Drawing

11" by 14" 80 lb. paper

My colored pencil drawing of the bird house on a cottonwood tree in Nebraska. this drawing is from a sketch I did April. The only green that was showing was the moss on the side of the tree. I really like to do these images in sets of four, using different media on each rendering. They are the same yet not the same. I am trying to decide if they should be displayed as a set of 4 drawings and painting or viewed individually.

I have been working on my art, I just have not been posting as I should. I finished the backyard fence repair from Hurricane Ike just in time for the next hurricane season. The heat is on in Texas so going outside for journal drawing has had it draw backs. I have not kept up that habit as I should.
