Bird carvings, I have learned, are fun still lifes to paint.
I have been sketching many of the birds
Matt carves, too,
to have a record ... and i love to draw.
The drawings below are good practice
for getting the figure on the panel.

| Whimbrel graphite on paper 5.5 x 4 inches |
 |
| Whimbrel graphite on paper 6 x 6 inches |
 |
| a Matt Robus wood carving of a Whimbrel (sitting up on a bookcase, ready to be painted, you see in the photo below where I put it) |
 |
| the sketch in charcoal on the wood panel, birch, i think |
As I do lots of times, I forgot to take any progress pics.

| Whimbrel oil on panel 14 x 14 inches |
I will be putting this elegant bird on my website soon. Here is a link if you
are interested in finding out more about the large shorebirds, the Whimbrels.
