Birch Tree Trunks I - A Work in Progress

Christine came up today after work to do the barn chores and fill all of my bird feeders. She knows how much I enjoy watching all the different species of birds that come to visit me.

Lately, there have been lots of little birds and today was no exception, I had Tree Sparrows, Chipping Sparrows, Fox Sparrows and Song Sparrows and White Crowned Sparrows in addition to the many Chickadees, Dark-Eyed Juncos, Goldfinch, Red Polls and Purple Finches.

While sitting at small table near the window I thought I may as well do something productive and I started to work on this drawing that I had started a while ago (see posts on 11 June 2015 and 01 January 2017).















I had pulled out a couple of photographs of the birch trees by Cabin 5 at the Knoepfli Inn in Magnetawan and started adding some of the birch trees from there onto on each side of the three trees in the drawing.

I finished the birch trees to the left side of the original trees and am pleased with the results.

I will post this drawing at a later date once all the birch trees have been completed.
