Sketch Dump Part 2!

I figured I'd share my other recent sketches in a seperate post. Why? Because I can!

Chickadee, raven and ermine.

More foxes!

Sparrow.

House sparrows.

And more house sparrows.

I'll be drawing and hopefully painting a lot more.

Sketch Dump!

I've been inspired lately to draw. I have ideas for drawings and paintings I'd like to do, but I've been in a "sketchy" mood.

I do have to appologize for the crappy photos. Quite frankly, I was too lazy to shoot them in my light box.

Also, I use an "F" lead pencil when I sketch and it's pretty light in color.

Fox and a gryphon, um, thing (eagle head, fox body).

Fox and raven.

Jumping foxes!!

Yeah. Been in a fox and bird mood . . . . :)

Wildlife!

I live in Falcon, Colorado. Just a little east of Colorado Springs (about 60 miles south of Denver). Falcon is a little rural. Jeremy (my hubby) and I have 1/2 an acre of land. Not a ton, but definitely a whole heck of a lot more than if we had stayed in the Springs (where I swear you can touch your neighbor's house just by lifting your arm). We're also surrounded by fields. Vast open fields. I didn't like it at first (I'm a mountain girl), but I've grown to love it. The grasslands have a beauty all their own (and it helps that the Rocky Mountains are less than an hour away!). It's also very cool to have pronghorn antelope practically in your own backyard!

Now, these guys are on the outside of our back fence. Before we had the fence up, they would come into our yard and up on our porch. And I gotta tell ya, pronghorn make a sound very similar to the velociraptor 'cough' sound in Jurassic Park. Seriously. Kinda creepy.

Running off after Zan wnet barking after them:

We also have fox, coyote, ground squirrels, rabbits, tons of birds, hawks and mice. Here's a gorgeous fox that watched us for a while. I love his eyes!

And yes, this is right by our house. The fox walk along the top of our back fence. And they're fun to watch, pouncing on mice! I love where I live!
