Terns: Some friends commissioned me to make art as part of their celebration of their 35th anniversary and their recommitment ceremony. I wound up making a bit of a painted quilt: 9 3”x3” watercolors with one wider item, all mounted onto an even heavier piece of watercolor paper. Some of the bits were easy to think of, some easy to draw and paint, some…not so much! Some bits I’m not super pleased with (of course) and some I’m proud of and some of those are the same pieces! *laugh* Anyway, this is one of them. It’s likely to appear on your screen much larger than the originals, which is a handy way to notice what I want to improve on for next time…. Happy 35th to my friends KH & LH! #terns #seabird #shorebird #watercolor #oswoa #tinyart #putabirdonit (First posted at https://www.patreon.com/posts/terns-71563883 for my lovely patrons who no doubt would welcome company ;) ) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckn_Ll_L5Mk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Prank or Prey? #watercolor for #septembird I think next time no tail. It was hard to do, didn't turn out well, and distracts. I like the water (room to improve, yes, but as good as I can be so far, so am pleased!) 5"x7". Whiter paper than this but flash overlightened the paint so used nonflash photo. Will probably use a particular species of gull next time. Also, a convenient sketchbook size but paper dries really fast!
