Right on schedule, the local Red-winged Blackbirds appeared on territory on the 11th of this month (it always amazes me how they figure out when to show up — I can’t remember what day of the week it is most days). I finally got a chance to get out for some sketches on Sunday. Spring begins with blackbirds.
And a big thanks to the folks who gave me a boost after I sat in the car for an hour at the side of the road, sketching … with my lights on. I AM A MORON, YES.
These are wonderful sketches! You’ve captured so much of their personality with your drawings. Too bad about the battery, but good news about the Good Samaritans!
