Walking briskly through the zoo to stay warm, I was
surprised to find an unexpected visitor in the penguin exhibit: a gray heron. It
looked a lot like the one I’ve seen at Green Lake occasionally. Although
on a warmer day I would have lingered to sketch it in a more leisurely manner,
especially since it was taking its time preening, I sketched it quickly and
moved on to my destination of choice in December: the Tropical Rainforest.

After wiping off my glasses, which had instantly fogged up
inside the warm, humid enclosure (ahhh – a moment on a distant continent closer
to the equator!), I sketched a golden lion tamarin and its strangely human
face.
Super sketches!!! Animals are great subjects.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I particularly like the tamarin... you've done its human face well.

Thanks for your comments, Joan and Kate! I may have made the tamarin look even more human-like than it really was... I think it's because of all my sketching in coffee shops. Next time I sketch someone in a coffee shop, he'll probably look more like a tamarin. ;-)
