Birds of a feather

Birds, beautiful birds. I love watching birds, documenting their sighting in my 'bird book' and listening to their merry songs. Those things make me happy. So, naturally I would try my hand at sketching and painting birds. They are harder for me than doing flowers. But, we don't learn if we don't try. Right? 

So, to join with Michael at Scribble Picnic on Wednesday
Paint Party Friday and Sunday Sketches on Sunday 

here are my birds. 


                                                A Seagull at the beach (using graphite pencils)

A hummingbird in watercolor 


and for a bit of humor, I saw this ostrich sketch on Pinterest, I think it was, and just had to do my own version. I added the frame and quote on Picmonkey.
