What’s the difference?

Western Scrub Jay (Again, again, again).
When all was said and done yesterday I found myself wondering the last time I saw the color blue on the end of my brush. I scribbled down a Scrub Jay before I went to bed. Tonight after working on a different project I colored it in.
And to my delight saw blue on the end of the brush again.
The blues ain’t so bad…
No bed will give us rest…
Stake my future on a hell of a past,
How to sit on a chair in California and draw birds.
Tonight I finished my 5 plates of Warblers. After I finished I went out for a bike ride in the night. I rode through town and out past some cow pastures. On my way I saw a great big Barn Owl on the wing. It flew silent over an empty lot. It seems like when a project or journey ends there’s some kind of remorse, but that owl reminded me my journey has just begun.
I’ve all ready started a few more birds of prey, like the Red-Tail shown here. I plan on making a series of various birds of prey in flight over then next few weeks.
Thank you for stopping by and joining me on my adventure in bird illustrations/life.
