Red Knot nesting

Today I was off of work. I planned to paint in my studio most the day. I had done my research and looked at tons of photos of Red Knots and now I must do a painting. I plan to do it on a beige charcoal paper. This means I can not use much water... but my plan is for much texture.....

It was wonderful to just paint today... and watch the birds out my window... an icy wonderland today... :)
