“Utunu”, African Wild Dog commission. Utunu kindly provided reference photos, many thanks!! 5″x7″ Oil on panel.

“Eurasian Tree Sparrow”, commission. I think I subconsciously painted a very fluffy warm bird orb (borb) of a sparrow because it was pretty cold out when I was working on this! Many thanks to my client for letting me get excited with some moss. 5″x7″ Oil on panel.

“Chipping Sparrow”… my first time painting with a palette knife (in the background only). It was fun, like painting with creamy frosting. Really expensive frosting. 5″x7″ Oil on panel.
