No Fat Chicks

I've been told that all the birds I paint seem to be fat.  I just thought they were all big boned.  Today, I give you two birds that might have an actual chance of flight.  Two Western Scrub Jays.  They are fun to paint  with their blue and browns,  This one has found a perch on a dead branch and is looking back over his shoulder.





This picture is approximately 5x7.

This second bird did look a bit more haggard in the original, but I don't think I did him any favors in this picture.  Again he  is looking over his shoulder.  I'm told that his head doesn't look like it fits on his body properly.  I didn't really think about it when I drew it.  Its how the picture was.

Both of these birds were fun to paint, and I will be doing more birds.  I've found a website full of great pictures of just about all species of North American birds, so expect to see more in the future.


This picture is approximately 4x6.
