Blue Tit on Ivy Leaves
Description:
An adorable little blue tit perched on trailing ivy leaves. My thanks to Albert Horsborough for kind permission to use his wonderful reference photo. The blue tit (cyanistes caeruleus) is a much-loved garden and woodland bird, widespread in the UK and much of Europe, entertaining us with its agility at our back yard bird feeders. Like the chickadee, it is part of the paridae family.

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Jackdaw

An inquisitive young jackdaw landed on the stone statue in my garden and inspired this drawing. He looked like a rather heavy load for this little boy to carry, hence the title!

Great Horned Owl
Description:
A great horned owl peers from amongst the white oak foliage - perhaps getting ready to settle down to rest after a night's hunting.
My thanks to Jennie Norris for the reference photograph of the owl.
Widely distributed in the Americas, the Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) is also known as the tiger owl or hoot owl. It is the second heaviest owl in North America, after the snowy owl, and its well-camouflaged plumage varies considerably across its range.
The large, powerful talons are capable of exerting 300 pounds of pressure per square inch.
Those tufts of feathers that give rise to the species' name are thought to be used to give visual cues when interacting with other owls.
This original pencil drawing by Elaine Jones was made with Faber Castell Polychromos, Caran d'Ache Pablo and Luminance pencils on Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper.
Image measures approximately 37cm x 29cm, unframed.

Macaw Mischief
Description:
My thanks to Isabel Morelli for the reference photograph.
"Don't ruffle my feathers"! one blue and yellow macaw seems to be saying to the other in this pencil painting by Elaine Jones.
The blue and yellow, or blue and gold macaw, ara ararauna, is native to tropical South American woodland and can grow to 30-34 inches and a weight of 2 or 3 pounds. These large, long-lived members of the parrot family are widespread in much of South America and are popular as pets because of their brilliant plumage, intelligence and ability to talk.
In the wild they nest in dead palm trees and pairs usually mate for life, often reaching an age of 30-35 years.
This original pencil painting is presented in a cream mount/matte ready for framing. (Image size approx. 29cm x 21cm" - external size 35cm x 28cm)
