Happy Monday! We had a calm and peaceful Thanksgiving; hope everyone’s was a good one! Over the weekend I found Andrew Zuckerman’s glorious Bird site! Jack and I spent an hour or so the other night going through the whole gallery.

Via Design is Kinky

I have been in such a painting mood recently and it’s great! I’m trying to see how many of these bird watercolors I can crank out. Painting birds seems so odd, too, because I’m usually so much more interested in people (and portraiture, more specifically). But, I’m really having a lot of fun, so why stop? Next up, the cardinal!
