Arty Bird Cards 
​​
My drawing of a pileated woodpecker is one of 35 images that make up the Arty Bird Card Project, a co-operative venture of the Metchosin Foundation, Rocky Point Bird Observatory, the Metchosin ArtPod and local artists. These card sets feature the most common birds seen in the lower Vancouver Island area. One side will feature the artistic representation of the bird, and the other will contain the bird’s name, identification information and some field notes. Card sets are available from the Metchosin Biodiversity Project.

New coloured pencil drawings
​using a fresh technique
​​
I've been experimenting with using coloured pencil in a way that doesn't involve framing with matting and glass. Instead, the finished drawing is varnished to protect the surface and framed as one would an oil or acrylic painting. It's a learning experience because the surface does not offer the same opportunities to achieve fine details, forcing me to loosen up and work differently. I am enjoying the challenge and pleased with the outcomes so far!
