I’ve illustrated birds from my Grandpa Alvin’s field guide books. I’ve zoomed in on details of birds on the computer, captured by the lens of photographers around the world. I’m fascinated by them and inspired to sketch them and bring them to life with watercolor paint. Below is a sampling of my deep dive into the wonderful world of birds.
