In my happy place.
Coyote
Pen and ink, 12”x 9”.
Acorn Woodpecker
Pen and ink, 9”x12”.
Acorn woodpeckers cache away acorns in granaries. This way they feed on them all year. They peck holes in trees, utility poles, buildings, or other wooden items and stuff the acorns into the holes. They’ll even find a cavity in a tree or other things and fill it with acorns. I used to have a tractor that they filled the exhaust stack with acorns and when I started it up, it shot acorns out the stack like anti-aircraft shells. They are industrious and cantankerous birds! They seem to bicker with each other quite a lot. They are one of the most common birds on our property. I have a love hate relationship with them.
Bald-Faced Hornet
Bald-Faced Hornet, pen and ink, 12″x9″. These hornet are more feared by loggers and forester than black bears. By weight they are the fiercest critters in the woods.
Chipmunk
Chipmunk in pen and ink. I took a photo of this chipmunk on the Lassen National Forest sometime ago. He appeared to be on guard duty, but I really think he was posing.
Doing A Little Fishing
I played around with some different fish styles for a fish book project. Here’s the catch of the day.
This one is mixed media pen and ink/watercolor.
The next is mixed media also.
The last one is straight watercolor.
I did these some time back and plan to do something totally different. I thought they’d be fun to post together. Do you have a favorite?
