Eye of the Rooster
9x6 watercolor on Winsor & Newton 140 lb cold press paper, done earlier in the month using one of many rooster and chicken photo references. With this fellow, I've cropped him closely to better focus on his eye and comb.

Party Time Parrot Tulip
9x6 watercolor using Rosa brand paints made in Ukraine on Winsor & Newton 140 lb cold press paper done earlier this month. With this variegated parrot tulip I've added other colors that complement one another for maximum effect. Before painting the tulip, I did a pale underpainting wash with pink, blue, and yellow primary colors.
