Wayne Gleason I am impressed with all you do but especially like the "gourd art" which I saw up close at the Belvue Mall display several years ago.

Vickie Henderson A practice sketch I creasted in a New York workshop. The idea was to practice the fading/fuzziness of background limbs. Fun sketch. Now for more practice and a larger version.

Vickie Henderson A Robin is not 'just a Robin'. They are beautiful birds, so varied in their individual markings and personalities. I loved it when this whole flock descended on my yard, giving me so many close up views. Berry picking fun.

There is something about the Robin that everyone relates to. It's a good thing. Beautiful sketch Vickie.

Thank you, Maree and Kelly. It was so much fun to see the boldness of this traveling flock, full of juveniles as well as adults, I'm sure. They were so eager and busy with their berry plucking!

Vickie Henderson I do love this sketchbook with 140# watercolor paper in it. There is something very freeing about the toughness of sturdy rag paper. You can play and explore and it doesn't fade away!

October in Tennessee is one of my favorite months. It's a transition month, with leaves turning, daylight shortening, air cooling and plenty of movement in the bird world.All of these signs plus a timeless, internal clock, signal Ruby-throated hummingbirds that its time to migrate. ...
