With a storm brewing and my blog established, I started to draw yesterday, and continued today.  This is my ‘fledgling’ drawing this year.  Hard to believe, yet these are intricate, detailed renderings I make, and it takes a lot of time.  Though the journey to completion is demanding, it is equally revealing, and the finished work is always (well usually!) an exciting reward.

This is my first attempt to draw a feather, just one feather, not the whole bird.
