Another Draw A Bird Day is upon us and it has become somewhat of a tradition on the blog.
DABday as I like to call it is about reproducing the form of avian species on media and is about the differences in appearance and function — as well as the colors and application of media in the process.
It is celebrated annually on April 8 but is not about drawing or artistic skills so much as having fun and sharing drawings of birds.
Expertise is not a requirement in the celebration of this day. Some of my most favorite and endearing examples are primitives drawn by young children. These are the elements of cherished memories that I wish for in my life.
I wish that I had not discarded those drawings I drew as a child for my mother then stuck to the refrigerator with a magnet set there for that purpose ...
We never know when life's regrets will arise and just what form they may take.
So in celebration of this year's Draw A Bird Day I give you the Spotted Towhee chick. I've never drawn an infant bird before and it's an attempt to forge new frontiers of personal endeavor.
