New art debuts at Schack Art Center!

So excited that I have sold a piece of art that was showing at the Schack Art Center in Everett, WA! Finally got up to see their current show, Art of the Garden, and noticed a red dot on the name card next to my House Sparrow drawing. Sold! Hurray! First time I have sold a piece at a gallery. The show is really great, so if you have time and are in Everett, do check it out. Many fine ceramic, glass, photography and 2D art pieces from local artists. Well worth a visit. #color

Really enjoying working on this Raven image, using colored pencil on 140# hot press watercolor paper. I love the look of the raven, and the diversity of black tones in the feathers and face. I remember seeing the ravens when visiting London, at the Tower of London. The ravens would just sit there on the fence railings, observing the tourists. #raven #corvid #birds #illustration
