17 November 2013, Permanent marker, 11" x 14"
I started sketching this piece shortly after I finished the last piece that was posted on this blog. It's been a long time coming... but that's one of the great things about creating art... you can always pick right back up wherever you left off.
I decided to make birds a focus area for my art when I rekindled my creative fire almost a year ago, and I really enjoy working with permanent marker. It didn't go unnoticed that the brand name for the world's most popular permanent markers and the nickname for one of North America's smallest raptors are one in the same. Let's just say... I couldn't help myself. Both the hawk and the marker are drawn life-sized.
I like this a lot. after my last vacation, I've started enjoying the local bird life a bit more. I'm hoping to get a book on atlantic shore birds for christmas :) clever perch for the sharpie :)
ReplyDeleteDavid, glad you like it. I didn't expect anybody would notice that I posted this. I've been very inactive in the blogosphere lately. Lots of things going on in real life, but not much to blog about. Hopefully that will all change soon. Thanks for noticing and commenting. I hope you get your bird book for Christmas. Maybe it will inspire you to create some bird art too.
DeleteVery cool!! I'm digging the perch as well , good thinking!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking it out. Glad you like it.
DeleteAmazing that you drew this with a permanent marker! Love the one of the toad, as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and commenting, Mary Anne!
DeleteI need to get back to drawing and painting if people are still finding their way to this blog. Thanks for giving some motivation to create art!
Yes! It appears to me that you have a talent. Don't let that go to waste. :)
