I worked mostly on colored paper (9x13") with conte crayon, and couple drawings with watercolors. One pheasant was nearly camoflaged close to my feet (in a free roaming aviary). I slowly opened my sketchbook, turning pages quietly, and hoped he/she wouldn't mind me looking at them that way for a while. The bird seemed a little concerned but stayed in their place for a bit--moving out of view after maybe five minutes. Interactions like that, if they can be called interactions, are ones I really love having while drawing at the zoo. An intimate drawing moment with another being, especially one whose experience of the planet and each other is something we'll never really know.
Thanks for visiting! All drawings are available for purchase--just email me.
