Also FEBIRDARY YES WE’RE DOING THIS. I’m not sure how/if I’m going to keep up, but the intent is there. 

If you’re not familiar, Febirdary is something like Inktober. Only with birds. And in February. Every day of the month has a prompt, based on which I (hopefully) manage to make some bird-related drawing. It’s organised/hosted/cooked up by the lovely @virginiagreene whose birbs are always poofed up just right.

Prompt for today with ‘first’, and after much pained thought I settled on Greater white-fronted geese. To me their shrill cackling is always the first sign of winter’s approach. I’ve pulled out a fresh brown-toned sketchbook for this and gave my coloured pencil a swing again for the first time in years. Loving it!

White-fronted goose. A small painting, oil on compressed hardboard. Sold. This is in one regard one of the most important paintings I’ve ever done as it convinced me that I could work in oils, and do a credible job. Prior to it I had done some oils I liked (Green-winged Teal; Spotted Owl) but they had been life size…this showed I could work smaller. And as often happens, I had a scenario in mind…a bird just having arrived from the south, landing on a frozen, snow-covered lake but the snow is melting, and he is preening in the late winter sunlight.
