I gotta say, I wasn't sure about showing the drawing I did yesterday of the crow because I'd posted the black butterfly right before it. But after I colored in today's drawing, I want to post it--what do you think?
I like crows, but the picture of a crow preening, you can't really tell it's a bird, can you? I showed the picture to my husband and asked, "Can you tell what it is?"
He stared hard and said, "Bird, right?" but I think that had to be an educated guess; there are few other living things on tree branches...that is, there are no monkeys at the park.

Here is today's drawing. Someone left a tan collapsible umbrella on the boulder, and with the blooms of bougainvillea behind it and the backdrop greenery, it was too pretty not to sketch--even if the crow didn't hang around to help with the composition.
Speaking of which--I tried to have 3 focal points of interest. 1: the crow; 2: the umbrella, and 3: the bougainvillea bush.
When I was leaving, an egret came, so I drew him in too. (Can you see him in the top left corner?) Some say that will throw off the composition number, so I added a branch of bigger leaves at the top center of the drawing to help them feel better.
I'm glad, relieved, and amazed that my Father sees me as endearingly beautiful no matter how I'm put together...but at the same time always knows how to make me better too.
