Some were better than others. The perception of sizes is a big one. The flower and newt were better than the Sunbird and Sprinbok. The Springbok body too thick and the neck head to small, several rub outs for this one.

Yes, I compared two plants in the Studio. Since its winter, not much is growing. Both plants have nodules where the leaves come out. Both are messy when the plant leaves die out, and both extend to the light. Both fian fine fuzzy hairs, but the Moses Plant flower has small seeds that have hairs, which I think would make the wind carry it away to repopulate in another area. This plant is easy to root in water. The flower on this is a pink/maroon colour. Never paid attention to the flower heads that turn into seed before. Kept the seed heads and will either do a germination test, or plant out. The second plant, I cannot seem to identify. Its in its third year growing and it spindly. I have cut it back before in the spring, when the plants go out , and it comes back. IT has small white nodule flowers with a flower but and two oblong petals beside the head.

It's still winter in the area of my home location on February 19, 2024. Its also Family Day, a holiday. The sun is shinning no clouds in the sky. The wind is from the North at km/hr. The temperature is -6.4C. I am viewing from the Studio, looking S/SE. The Sunlight feels warm, and reflects off the snow, blinding white. The snow is melting off the roof, slow drips on the deck below. The water is melting and moving to the downspouts, while pouring our the down converters. Looking at the bird feeders, the Junco comes by, then the chickadee's flittering back and forth. I was out earlier feeling the warmth of the Sunshine, the odd breeze blown, chilly, but good. The buds on the trees are sill tightly bound . though earlier this last week, the sap was running in the maples. The sap water was overpouring the pores and creating sap sickles. Nature is awesome. Just finished my last bird count for the backyard bird count 2024.

I like your sampling of the colours used, much like a water colour painting. Having fun with the layout is what I hope I can accomplish.

Nice detail and expansion on the wing detail. Kim

I felt ok about drawing, though I think the proportions might be a bit off, as drawing the bird first, before any branches, threw me off. Noticing the branches and leaves. There is a white area on the branch either a mold, or possibly an insect. It looks like mid to late summer, there is brown patches on the leaves, that is leaf rust.
