This is a Red Bellied Woodpecker. They don’t have red bellies (maybe a soft blush), but they do have a lovely soft red cap and striking black and white feathers. This 2nd in a series of 4 detailed ink drawings is almost finished – drawn with a 000 Rapidograph pen. So it is taking some time to finish.

When complete there will be 2 more in the series. And all will be sold as greeting cards in our new HappySoupShoppe Etsy store. (with my friend Cathy Stevens Pratt )

Here is the first of the 4 – The Northern Saw Whet Owl. Oh my what darling small owls these Saw Whets are!

The first 2 drawings are spoken for, the next 2 originals will be sold at HappySoupShoppe. All will be sold as single cards and in sets of 4 (1 of each bird) and sets of 8 (2 of each bird).

I am thinking about drawing the Mockingbird – because it’s the Texas state bird – and the 4th picture I am not sure what it will be yet. I’ll have to go to my favorite park and see who makes an appearance!
