Plein air and a chickie.

First of all, obligatory Chickie. Chickies, as featured in my silly attempt at children's book illustration last winter, are tiny birds that live in the forest and like berries. They do not like bugs, worms, or evil things that eat them, but will use tools to achieve their goals.

~6x8 inches, acrylic on board.

The following two are a result from my first-ever plein air outing with a group of fellow artists. Plein air is scary-- the light keeps moving.  Each is 12x12 inches, acrylic on board.
