Show off! Dang I love it! I’m great at the outline of horses rather than the shading part- you got the textures and muscles just right!

Thank you!

I used to do a lot of ink Pointillism in the past, although I currently picked it back up again last month.

One year I made Christmas cards....

A Red-tailed Hawk...

And my current work in progress Common Raven...*not an entry*

They certainly have been a menace around here over the years! But I do love all birds.

Beautiful! I have a soft spot for ravens. One actually showed up in my chicken run with a fractured wing—I captured it and brought it to a local bird sanctuary. He was magnificent.

I too absolutely adore Crows, especially Ravens. I have been feeding the local Ravens dry dog food for 25 yrs, I live to see these birds in my yard each day.

Oh how kind of you to rescue the Raven and take it to a sanctuary!! You have a heart of gold. They truly are magnificent creatures, their sensitivity, intelligence and ability to think is incredible!

Oh, that's amazing!! I would love to figure out how to keep the local crows around, but any food I leave out for them gets munched on by mice or the chickens get to it—sometimes I wish my bantams couldn't fly so well. And thank you so much. It was incredible getting to be so near to one, even if it was only for a short time!
Here's a photo of the raven awaiting transport—I'll delete it after you see it so it doesn't clutter up the thread.

To make up for this digression, I'll see if I can find any of my artwork depicting wild birds. I know I've done some in the past.

As I recall, you did a little owl.

I had forgotten about that. You're quite right!
