A first attempt at sketching David Lynch. He will be missed. #davidlynch

The pic of the street corner was done with a 0.4 black stabilo pen followed by a water brush for the wash effect.

Ink and water sketch of our friends’ house who hosted Friendsgiving this year. Done live on a chilly morning. I was birding simultaneously- 4 blue birds flitting about behind me! Brain fully occupied- no wonder I stepped in dog poo that morning…

starling precariously perched atop a feeder waiting for its turn

starling on a feeder looking directly behind to see who's coming in to steal it's spot

two starlings on a feeder in a rare moment of peace

a starling in profile sitting on a feeder. it is perfectly still, but two other starling blurs are visible.

starling invasion lasted all of 20 minutes
and then they moved on and the house sparrows juncos Cardinals and doves returned to their normal low key squabbling at the feeder.

view of new York City from an amtrak train. a small shadowy park is in the foreground. a wall of skyscrapers in the back, enveloped in mist and rain. a single bird can be seen flying towards the city.

massive housing projects beyond a green bridge. the bridge separates the buildings from their reflections in an eerily still body of water. a small flock of blurry birds is in the foregeound. everything is bright grey and rainy.

black and white image taken through a train window. mostly water and sky. a distant bridge crosses and meets some shadowy woods on the right. everything is rainy and grey.

black and white picture taken from a train. there is a highway in the foreground crossing the frame. in the background, cloaked in misty rain, are some large ironwork structures and buildings. in the foreground is another tall metal structure with guy-wires going out across the image.
