I drew a quick one last night. This is from a photo we’d taken on one of our trips to Texas (2014). They are really cute birds.
Also, Happy Chinese New Year! Some people say “Lunar New Year” since 1) it’s based on a lunar calendar rather than earth’s orbit about the sun and 2) other countries celebrate the same new year.

I wish I had the talent to just draw something like this (and quickly)… even my stick men barely deserve that title!

Thank you, Al! Not much going on in our town. If my mum were still alive and we lived in Vancouver with my parents, we’d have more fun and more good food. :}

I think my kids will think receiving money in red “lucky” envelopes is fun, but we’re not giving them any. 😉

Thank you, Laura! I had to include water because that’s what it was standing in and I couldn’t draw the feet since I couldn’t see them. 😉

Beautiful and elegant drawing of a beautiful and elegant bird :-). I like the way you captured the light on its wing feathers. I saw some for the first time when I went to Arizona (Phoenix area) in December. Happy Lunar New Year!
