| African Spoonbill drawing, in pastels |
The first, left, is an African Spoonbill bird done in pastels. I found a photo in a lovely book on African animals.

| Made up Insect in charcoal |
This one has a grasshopper head and forelegs, a spotted larva torso, and a scorpion's tail. We also had to name the bug and identify the various parts. This is the "Spotted Leaf Cutter" in charcoal.
The third, below, is another bird....I can't remember what type, but some kind of stork or crane

Holu smokes! Both of these are beauties!! That spoonbill needs to be framed and the pencil work on that insect is gorgeous!! Wowee, am I glad you showed these.
Thanks Teri....very nice of you! These were both fun to do and I find it easier to work with pastel and charcoal than paint. At least, for now. Thanks for your encouragement!
Both are wonderful - the imaginary insect is beautifully done and so inventive.
Wow! The Spotted Leaf Cutter is gorgeous! What an interesting idea.
I love the made-up insect. It's fab!
