It’s that time of year where I start painting ornaments—the male quail has been reserved, but the female quail will be in my shop in a few weeks. Bird suggestions are welcome!!
Two wooden disc ornaments that have been painted. On the left ornament is a male California Quail, and on the right ornament is a female.

I was doing figure painting for stress relief and my unfinished St. Beepathan painting was staring at me… perhaps it’s a sign I should finish him…
