Day 204. Crepe Myrtle Bird

20 Jul

Today’s Bird-A-Day art started off as just a big splatter of watercolor paints. Then after some layering and experimenting a bird shape started coming together. I decided this splatter of paints would work better if I did a little pen and ink drawing for the head and some feathers. And lastly, a twig from our yards Crepe Myrtle tree gives this little fella a resting spot. I really enjoy mixing media along with real objects. Enjoy.

    I have a crepe myrtle in my front yard! It’s only small but beautiful as it grows and starts to bloom. I love the watercolor – stunning.

      Crepe Myrtles seem to love the Texas environment. They are one of my very favorite blooming trees as well. Glad you like the watercolor bird. Thank you.
