I took this photograph of this bird at Descanso Gardens. While they are very common there, I usually have trouble photographing this bird with a black head and brown body that I believe is a Dark-eyed Junco as they move fairly quickly. However, this one paused for a bit as it looked like it was gathering materials for its nest... I hope that you will enjoy this photo!
I love to paint animals, you may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

Here is a sketch of a tulip flower. I love the elegant lines these flowers have. I'm unsure if I'll paint it or not, but I did enjoy sketching it.
I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in July. This is from day 4.
This is a rough sketch.
Here is a sketch of a rose flower. Rosebuds are such lovely flowers, I find myself drawn to draw them often... I'm unsure if I'll paint it or not, but I did enjoy sketching it.
