“Our” red-breasted nuthatch came to the feeder this morning. I grabbed my Nikon D750 with the 80-400 lens and got some great shots standing in full view on the patio. His movement pattern was interesting…he’d fly in land on either a rose bush or the crossbar of the feeder hanger, wait a bit then come to the feeder for a few moments, get a black sunflower seed, then fly off. Wash, rinse, repeat. This is the first year for this species in our yard. Hope it’s not the last! There will be sketches, maybe a watercolor. Stay tuned!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣#bird #birds #redbreastednuthatch #backyardbirds #birdfeeding #birdfeedersofinstagram #birdfeeder #birdartist #animalartist

Inktober52-Prompt: ‘Shadow’: “Patio Chair”; I’d been wanting to do something with the photo for awhile and there will probably be a painting at some point since the chair is a nice lavender, but this taught me how to draw it and work out basic values.

Inktober52 Prompt ‘Flight’- “Rooks, Mongolia”. Got a late start so here’s week no.1…”Rooks, Mongolia”. This big flock of rooks (related to crows) flew over me on one of my trips to Mongolia. They were all black. Except one, which was white, very unusual.

Inktober 2019- “Takhi”, I saw this takhi/Przewalski’s horse stallion at the Khomyn Tal takhi reintroduction project in 2015. His name is Chronos and he was one of the original 22 horses transported to western Mongolia in 2004. He still had quite a large harem with a number of young foals. Truly a survivor.⁣ ⁣Gillott 170 nib, used by Marcus Hamilton for drawing his “Dennis the Menace” cartoon: in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook.⁣ ⁣#penandink #pennibs #blackandwhite #horses #horseart #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #wildlifeartistsoninstagram #animalart #animalartists #animalartistsofinstagram #wildhorses #takhi #stillmanandbirn #gillott #gillott170 ⁣ ⁣

Inktober 2019- “Black-crowned Night Heron”, Gillott 659 crowquill in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook. We have a largish pond in our backyard and a few years ago this night heron flew in and stayed long enough for me to get some good photos. Even if we can’t see one they have a distinctive “Scronck” sound that lets us know one is around.⁣ ⁣The Gillott 659 crowquill was the favorite of pen and ink master Joseph Pennell.⁣ ⁣#penandink #pennibs #blackandwhite #birds #birdart #blackcrownednightheron #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #wildlifeartistsoninstagram #animalart #animalartists #animalartistsofinstagram #gillott #gillott659 #crowquill #stillmanandbirn #zetasketchbook

Inspirations

“Tell ’em not to throw in the sponge because they are disappointed with their first efforts….Honesty is everything. Don’t worry about how a professional artist would draw your subject. Let’s see how you see it. That is the real interest. Make sketching a habit.”
Percy Bradshaw
