Good Morning – I don’t always make the 8th of the month for Draw a Bird Day, but today I have two birds to share.
Watercolor and watercolor pencil… House Sparrow
I received a catalog in the mail for window treatments, so I used the different patterns for the a dandy collage bird.
They are both adorable, but I am especially drawn to the collage…finally a great use of those pesky catalogs!

Hi Jenna, thank you and yes, if only the catalog makers knew how they were being used, haha!

These birds make me feel happy. I watched my husband recently struggling with a kingfisher for days. He did a beautiful job in the end, but he had extracted all the joy out of the process by striving for perfection. I think the catalogue printers would be pleased to see your gorgeous birds.
