#DoodlewashJune2021 prompt: Chickadee.
Did you know that chickadees hide food like squirrels and similar animals do? Unlike most animals, though, the chickadee hides each item in a separate place and is able to remember where each item is. Some believe they can remember thousands of hiding places.
Playing with both a new paper and a new watercolor, so I kept going even after I felt the piece was done, just to try out a few things.

Life Imitates Doodles 
I am a bird fan…but this one really grabbed my heart! That rusty wing against the deep blue. You rocked the soft, downy texture of those puffed up feathers! Swoon.
Thank you, Judy! Trying out more new watercolors! They’re pouring in for World Watercolor Month!
