I’ve been preparing for the Mass Audubon Birder’s Meeting, which is next weekend. I’m trying to get a few tiny paintings done to sell 🖌️

I usually do a light pencil sketch, place down ink, and then scrape the ink away! Scratchboard is a bit odd so you have to make very light pencil marks (darker marks are hard to erase and also damage the surface)

A male zebra finch on a perch. Only one side of his head is visible, and it seems that he’s looking at something just past the camera.

Three bird illustrations. The leftmost illustration is an acrylic painting of an Indigo Bunting singing while perched on some plant tufts, with a green background. In the upper right is a pencil illustration of a Redpoll tilting its head while perched on a thick branch. In the bottom right is an ink on scratchboard illustration of an Eastern Towhee singing while perched on a thin branch.

Original frame and then edited and cropped. Sometimes it's nice to see the original frame since we crop so much with bird photography.

A fluffed up burrowing owl, very round shaped

Maximum round!

Did you know 'borb' shape has a purpose? (Other than looking ridiculously cute)

When birds become round fluffs, they trap a layer of warm air in their downy underfeathers, shielded by outer feathers, insulating themselves to stay toasty even in extreme cold!

Cute and convenient! 🪶
