Many moons later, I offer another birb.

Available on Inprnt and in my Etsy shop!

[Image Description: Digital artwork of a chickadee perched on a branch of flowering yellow forsythia. The chickadee has its usual black-and-white head coloring, with a white underbelly fading into yellow, but its wings and tail feathers are light purple. Its body faces the viewer, but its head is turned to the side, away from the main forsythia branch. Several more flowers bloom behind it. /end ID]

BOTD: Boreal Chickadee

Photo: David A Mitchell

"This dusty-looking chickadee lives in spruce forest of the North, mostly north of the Canadian border. A hardy permanent resident, it survives the winter even as far north as the Arctic Circle. Like other chickadees, this species becomes much more quiet and inconspicuous during the nesting season. Because that is the time of year when birders most often search for it, the Boreal Chickadee has gained a reputation as an excessively elusive bird."

A birthday gift for a non-Tumblr friend - foundation paper pieced chickadees at the feeder!

These pieces are so tiny, this is why FPP works so well at teensy tiny details and angles. All fabrics from stash, and I love the tree-bark print as a frame. The birds' eyes are French knots.

Junior Woodchucks and Chickadees - Kids scouts group - Duckverse

This is also my gift to my friend from Instagram and Deviantart, but I also drew this for Scouts Day, which is celebrated on February 22nd. Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell, was born on that day in 1857, who was also the founder of scouts (the first scout camp was Brownsea Island Scout camp) in 1907. On the same day, his wife Olave Baden-Powell was born, but in 1889, she too was credited with founding the Girl Scouts, just as Robert Baden-Powell was credited with founding the Boy Scouts. While the whole world celebrates the Scout Day on February 22, in America it is celebrated on February 8. Yes, those scout groups of either boys or girls help to improve their knowledge and skills and to get along better in nature and not be at home all the time in a closed space. Those scouting organizations are still active today.

Yes, I drew Donald's nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie together as the Junior Woodchucks, in which they are much more disciplined than before, and there is Gyro's nephew, Newton who is also a member of the Junior Woodchucks. There is also Sonny Seagull (Garvey Gull), who, although not a member of the Junior Woodchucks, is still best friends with Donald's nephews, so he is often with them. Unfortunately, he is an orphan. Incidentally, it is also the anniversary of the comic "Operation St. Bernard" published in February 1951 and written and drawn by Carl Barks and that comic was the beginning of Junior Woodchucks. Besides them, there are also Daisy's nieces, April, May and June (version from the Dutch comics), but as the Littlest Chickadees, a girl scout group and dressed in uniform. There is also Bertie McGoose or Grand Mogul, the leader of the Junior Woodchucks, also one of Donald Duck's best friends from childhood. And there are their parents, Aunt Daisy, Uncle Donald and Uncle Gyro Gearloose from Little Helper, watching their kids have fun and socializing while in scout groups. I mostly drew by combining styles from European comics. And yes, Huey holds the Junior Woodchucks Guidebook, which contains all the important information and is a veritable encyclopedia for young curiosities.

I hope you like this drawing and sorry for some mistakes I made. Feel free to like and reblog this, just don't copy or use my same ideas without crediting me! Thank you! And once again, Happy Girl and Boy Scout Day!

Bird Art Week Day 7

And now the finale of bird art week! The prompt was round birds and gosh, if that isn't lighting a bat signal with my name on it. My favorite round winter bird is the chickadee :) they make such adorable orbs!

That feeling when you impulsively spend $13 to finally discover what silky joy an artist grade oil pastel must feel like, only to find out on game day that they're not oil pastels at all, they're actually chalk pastels. 😅

Had fun regardless, trying plein air watercolour painting with a friend for Opus outdoor painting event! How to make plein air more fun? Exaggerate the scale of the tiny things that are more fun to draw, and play with pretty colours.

BOTD: Carolina Chickadee

Photo: Mark Moschell

"Very similar to the Black-capped Chickadee, this bird replaces it in the southeastern states. Living in milder climates, it has been reported to be less of a visitor to bird feeders, but it does come into suburban yards for sunflower seeds. Where the ranges of Black-capped and Carolina chickadees come together, they often interbreed. In these contact zones, they also can learn to imitate each other's songs -- causing great confusion for birdwatchers."
