It starts off with a group of blank canvases and some ideas that I've collected with the help of my friends. The act of painting canvases orange feels like part of the ritual that gets me in the mood for the paintings to come.

Starting off with this bluebird sketch. They're such lovely birds and very helpful to have around as they eat lots of bugs... plus they're so sweet looking!

This dragonfly was a special request and I just so happened to have a specimen to look at. Found this quite by accident, it had died in the garden and been dried by the sun. I've had it for a few years so it's a little beat up but still very interesting.

I colored my sketch of this house finch. they're a very common bird where I live and the have a most wonderful melodic song.
