Was a beautiful day here in North Carolina to go bird watching and sketching. After the Arctic blast of frigid temperatures, 50 degrees was just right.
I simply roamed my neighborhood with my binoculars and sketched what I saw.
So relaxing to ground myself in nature.
Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!
Cheers,
Bev
A low-pitched warble
A shy male bluebird begins
An early courtship.
Art Prescription: The birds know spring is around the corner. Bluebirds often begin their house hunting as early as January.

A back-lit forest
Light and shadow dance on leaves
Air still with July.

Wash day, clean white horse
Rolls in the dirt to dry off
Mud, natures sunscreen.
Art Prescription: I rode Lacey today, a new mare at Blue Skies. Hot day for May, so after our ride we got to spray them off. They really liked that!! And just like a clean dog, Lacey trotted into the grassy meadow and proceeded to roll. Pretty cute!! Pen and ink and watercolor 5 x 7.
