Here's my Day 8 painting. This is from a photo looking east of the Tansey farm. See the photo below. This painting is very sketchy and when I was working on it I just looked at it and said...NO MORE - STOP! I like it this way so I resisted overworking. I am going to paint another one using this photo though! Forganites...you know who you are...can you recognize where this is??
We had a big dump of snow again and all the roads leading across the interior of BC were closed for awhile for avalanche contral and just plain bad conditions! On the morning hike I noticed a strange bird call and looked up to see this puffed up fellow! He looks so dignified!
According to my Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Western North America, I believe he's a Northern Harrier, due to the "owl like facial disc" and his colouring and the strange call I heard! The magpies were really annoyed with him and staying clear!
