Avian Alphabet
colored pencil and watercolor
8" x 8" 1998 |
After a particularly hectic year, I made
“An Avian Alphabet” just for fun. It allowed
me to indulge both my love of birds and my
love of patterns. It also set me the challenge
of finding a bird for each letter without using adjectives or scientific names.
