Day Four

Snowbirds 5x8 watercolor

Today, the Grackles showed up again to hog the suet and drive away all the other "prettier" less aggressive birds.  Watching them doing acrobatics while fighting at the feeder and then landing on the snow to feast, I decided they had a beauty of their own.  I enjoyed the sun on the birds and the shadows in the snow.  That's when I decided the common Grackle would be my muse today!  I decided yesterday to initiate the  sketchbook my husband had given me for Christmas.  First sketch of the new year in the new sketchbook!  Another day done!
