Yellowthroat in the weeds

Sat down and did a little drawing today. This was a piece from the last studio session. Common Yellowthroats tend to blend into their surrounding. When I saw these plants I was intrigued by how wispy they were in the fields. There is always one or two Common Yellowthroats flitting around them in migration.

Great show inspires new art

I belong to a great group of creative artists. Last weekend our group, Georgia Coastal Artists, held our fall show at Glynn Art Association on St. Simons Island. It is a very quiet time of year but still a few people came to look and buy. Today, Ella Cart brought a painting to work on while sitting with her work. She invited me to get some paper and join her. Well, I looked in the van and found paper. What was I going to draw? I always have a sketch book so I took one of the sketches a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron. I started but I needed some native plants, so I walked around the building. Low and behold, there was beautiful fall red Virginia Creeper and palmetto. Here is what came out of the afternoon. Thanks Ella that was fun.
