House Finch
Given how many house finches we have around here, it’s astonishing I haven’t posted a sketch yet, but they haven’t been very cooperative. Until this one, who gave me at least 30 seconds.
Watercolor added from memory shortly afterwards. It was a very bright male, in new moult. The paper is just sketching paper which is a bit flimsy for wet media, but it doesn’t matter if your pages curl if what you’re going to do is scan them…

Hi Pica,
Just dropping by to say Hi. I think you could definitely spin some of those sketches into wine labels! I love em.
