33 days, 33 birds: no. 24 (01.22.07)


33 Birds in 33 Days: a New Year's project in which a new hummingbird drawing will be published each day from December 30, 2006 to January 31, 2007.

Pen & ink and acrylic on 140 lb Canson watercolor paper.

4 x 4 inches with a 1.5 inch border.

The background has an underlayer of bright red, and the moon is black ink; a top coat of "interference gold" acrylic picks up the light, and from different angles the surface may look a very bright gold, or a white gold, or have a luminescent metallic sheen.
