California Coast Sunset (Dana Point)

Merry Christmas to my friend Cait! You are a great friend who has helped me in so many ways, including giving me rides to medical appointments, pet sitting, and making sure I don't stay a hermit for too long of a period at a time! Thank you so much for being there for me, and I hope you enjoy this pop of color on your wall. 😊

Momma Codee Mae, forever in the sun!

Now that I have given it to it's new owner; I would like to share this painting I finished for my dear friend, Melody, in loving memory of her precious horse, Momma Codee  Mae. She was Melody's dream horse come true, and it was my great honor to present this piece to her as a tribute to the wonderful life the two of them got to share together!

Mountain Quail

Here's a pair of mountain quail I've been working on lately. It was inspired by an art contest I saw online. I didn't learn of the contest in time to meet the submission deadline, but I decided to finish the drawing anyway. Next year I'll be ready though! Lots of small details going into this piece. It will be available for purchase, so if anyone is interested send me a message and let me know!

Blue Fairy Wren

I finished this cute little guy today. My osprey is still in the works, but I like to try to get a few quicker drawings out of these smaller birds since the larger ones take so long. Fairy wrens come in a few different, iridescent color combinations; some even appearing to glow. They are really quite spectacular little puff balls!

New drawing taking flight!

I am already enjoying seeing this piece come to life as I go; off to a good start on my newest bird drawing! This will be the largest piece I've done so far in the series (more than twice the size of my "Regal Pelican" piece).
