#birds #BirdWhisperer #art
The European Crested Tit is the only small songbird in northern Europe with a distinct crest. Its pointed crest is speckled with black, white and grey. The rest of the head is also these shades, with a black cheek stripe, extending laterally to a thin black collar reaching up the neck, and a black arc around each ear. The eye is very dark and the beak is black.The upper parts are brown, quite uniform. The lower parts are tawny with the flanks more coloured. The legs are grey-blue. Our bird is seen in profile, crest extended, facing to the viewers right. It’s standing on a cluster of flower branches that have browned. They have a layer of snow on them. The background is wintery white.

#birdart #🪶 #gouachepainting #vulture #traditionalart
Realistic painting of a vulture standing hunched beside the skull of a domestic dog. The scene is contained within a black oval. Closeup of the vulture’s face. The bird has a forlorn, seeking expression.

Made a cute new sign for my stall
Photograph of an A3 laminated cardboard sign. It featured kaz’s contact details, a lo-fi QR code, and a large image of a bird he painted. Next to the bird is a cartoon version of kaz, sat cross legged and holding a cup of steaming tea.

The mistle thrush likely got its name from its love of mistletoe, which makes this original drawing a great idea for a unique Christmas gift for a loved one.

A small drawing of a mistle thrush bird sitting on a branch laden with mistletoe with white berries. The bird is brown with a pale breast with dark spots. The drawing is on brown paper with a light green background. The mistle thrush likely got its name from its love of mistletoe - it will defend a berry-laden tree with extreme ferocity! An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper 5 by 7 inches (12.7 by 17.8 cm).

"W stawie zimna woda,
Trochę będzie szkoda,
Trochę będzie szkoda, gdy
Utopię się w nim..."

A drawing inspired by Czerwone Gitary's 1968 song "Takie ładne oczy"... And there's of course some recent, unusual feelings I wanted to convey

Gouache portrait of a menacing pigeon lit directly from above such that their bill has an elongated, dramatic shadow going down their neck. They appear upset at you. The background is orangey pink and done with very messy brushstrokes.
