Hornbill

I haven't done a good job of posting lately. I'm trying to keep a visual record for myself, but it is still awkward to post a painting that looks silly. This sketch is of a great hornbill, taken by my friend, Paul Bronstein who faithfully sends me photos he takes while working as a docent at the zoo. This was a pretty quick sketch (about an hour). I like the black paper, but it doesn't hold the pastel too well.
