At the risk of showing further ineptitude at drawing, I have decided to share another chalk pastel foray. With this one I portrayed what I know well, vultures, in a scene inspired by a "Twilight Zone" apocalyptic classic and my own back yard view of local wildlife groupings. For the birds' fascinating presence, I'm very grateful.

Of course "The Midnight Sun" has a classic twist ending and for that reminder
I thank
Wikipedia (Huge Spoiler Warning). Additionally my gratitude goes to
About.Com for the information on vultures. I always thought of a grouped flight as a tornado before finding this awesome information.

I know nothing about vultures other than the impression I've gained from horror films and dark stories! Love your atmospheric picture.

Thank you for making my day. Best wishes!
DeleteThat's one of my favourite episodes of the Twilight Zone. I love your take on it. And thanks for the links. It's great to know when vultures are a committee, venue, volt, or kettle, or wake.
ReplyDeleteThank you! You're very kind. And I'm glad you enjoyed the information.
DeleteThe word "ineptitude" is so out of place here, Darla! Love your drawing. Now you've inspired me to sketch something! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so very kind. I'm thrilled to have inspired you!
DeleteYou are talented. Loved reading about vultures, especially that they are called a "wake" when feeding as a group on a carcass and that their heads are bare for a reason.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind! And I'm happy you enjoyed learning about these interesting animals.

ReplyDeleteThank you! How delightful.
Deletevultures are kind of scary when I see them on the road. I like yours though. lol
ReplyDeleteI just found ArtistsNetwork.com through a fb friend in Holland. They seem to have pointers on drawing etc. I may even start doing something again.
Thank you for the tip and kind words! I hope you do get to enjoy some fun creativity.
