my first completed artwork in 2024! i'm slowly making progress on the 2023 collectible bird cards
this year i really want to focus on backgrounds so this piece took longer than usual compared to my previous card designs! i also upgraded my canvas size/resolution so now procreate limits me to only 33 layers, which was difficult to work with (give me my 50+ layers!!). hopefully i can offer larger size prints if people are interested? i will post the card version of this artwork later!
It's Puff Grack season! I love the Grackles, and about a week after their arrival they have started to show off. Please enjoy the Grack Waltz! (Unmute for max fun!)
Yesterday, among the hundreds of goldfinches flittering around my backyard. I saw this house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus). I was taken by his coloring, which is a bit more on the orange side than most house finches that I see around here. I only had time for this one shot. The look on the bird's face reminds me of Ben when I'm talking to him, and he just stares back at me.

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.
Take a look:
