"Falconry Hoods"



pencil.

Hood "#4" is based on one hanging on the wall of Norman Rockwell's studio. I had been drawing these prior to visiting, and was surprised to see one hanging there on the wall during the brief tour.

"Oriole & California Valley Quail"



~7.5" x 12", gouache.

After the last oriole, a friend asked me to make her one (she's
from Baltimore). So, I made this for her and her girlfrien, who is
from California (hence the cute little California Valley Quail).



They are both women, these are the male forms of these birds, and such is love. I remembered to scan as I went along. Here's to a happy couple.
