Working on a series of birds from my backyard. From pencil to paint, portraits to birds, I still feel each attempt at art is just practice.
Perhaps appreciating birds is something old folks do. It's the luxury of time and gratitude for creation.

Kurt Cobain pencil and charcoal. Referenced 1993 photograph by Mark Seligar. 30x22 unframed. Willing to sell this one for the right price. Can do a print for less.

The raven is epoxied. The window frame is texture paste and crackled. The ivy is baking soda soft.

Out and about yesterday by the Meramec. This felt a little Edgar Allen Poe -ish, even though this is a puffed up northern mockingbird not a raven.

For quite some time, I have wanted to paint an owl. Unfortunately, I had not yet found the right reference. This image was taken from a short video on X. Regrettably, I am unable to give credit to the creator. Mommy owl fiercely looking out for her baby!

My whittled broken heart. I've discovered whittling to be a highly effective stress reliever. I'm not yet proficient. I'll continue to improve. This is a broken heart magnet painted with alcohol ink.

The last day of September has arrived. The photograph is my own, paired with a sweet poem that notes the change of season.
