12:30 AM Quickie Bird

I just couldn't settle down last night so I got up and painted another bird. It took maybe 15 minutes or so. Then I guess I had "scratched the itch" that was keeping me from settling down so then I went on back to bed. I have this  book coloring book  and I try to sketch the birds out by had without tracing . It is a skill that needs practice so I try to look at something and draw it.

  12. Its a beautiful bird! I have a friend who is taking a class based on the book drawing on the right side of the brain. Second week was all about drawing what you see, not what you think you should see.
