Thinking about what to do for the 100 Day Project reminded me that I hadn't finished posting my Birdtober from October and I've had these photos loaded up for some time so I'd better move on.
Day 15 - Red-Headed Woodpecker
Day 16 - White-winged Dove
Day 17 - Great Tailed Grackle
Day 18 - White-Throated Sparrow (original prompt was House Sparrow, but since I consider them bluebird assassins I could not honor them by drawing one)
Day 19 - Brown Pelican
Day 20 - Greater Roadrunner
Day 21 - Rufous Hummingbird
Day 22 - Green Jay
Day 23 - Painted Bunting
Day 24 - American Goldfinch (our NJ State Bird)
Day 25 - Cedar Waxwing
Day 26 - Red-tailed Hawk
Day 27 - Artist's Choice - I chose a Northern Flicker inspired by a photo from our yard
Day 28 - Violet-Green Swallow
Day 29 - Roseate Spoonbill
Day 30 - Pigeon
Day 31 - Burrowing Owl
Most of these did not have backgrounds and even though the paper was white, it most often photographed gray which I'm not thrilled with. I should note that Thad wanted me to have these framed but we were at odds as to where I would put them. I hadn't planned on removing them from the book so I think they will stay as is. Doing them on the larger 8 x 8 this time was more rewarding to me as I could work on the detail more in the larger space. I'm not sure there's enough blank pages left for another month (next year's challenge) or whether I'll have to find another 8 x 8 or perhaps go even larger. We shall see. But, all-in-all, I did enjoy doing this.
Gorgeous Lorraine!
