THRILLED with my new book, ‘Birdie’s Field Guide’ - it’s a wordless picture book about a little girl and how she falls in love with birds. Sort of the ‘Origin Story’ where we also see she is a little artist who loves to draw. But then - we see her grow into a young lady who now travels all over the country. And as we turn the pages we find ourselves turning the pages of her sketchbook and all her drawings - drawings of birds! And LOTS of them. Over 100 North American Birds can be found within th …

I’m intrigued with the idea of creating this work with these tools plus watercolor. (I’ve done all my books and much of my art digitally). When I shared my interest and fears about this road to my wife She said I should test it out and see if what is produced would translate well in book form. so, that is …
