Ostrich

Here's the finished commission. These two are such silly birds. Always getting in petty disputes and then ignoring each other. They can't keep up the silent treatment for long, though.

They will be joining Oki the Okapi for a child's room who happens to LOVE exotic wild animals!

What's new today

My commissioned ostrich painting is coming along. This picture didn't get the colors right, but at least you can see the composition. The background is a brighter orange and the birds are black/white/grey NOT blue (I think I need to change the camera batteries). This painting is a follow up to the Okapi painting for my friend's son.

I also happened to stumble upon a new weekly sketch group on Etsy, "Sketch Tuesday". I think this is great because 365 Sketch was way too much to take on but a weekly commitment is just right. See this Etsy thread for sketches from participating artists.
