Creatures

I have participated in a scavenger hunt on WetCanvas for the last few years. Every 9 days we get a list of items to hunt for and sketch/paint. The current hunt is all animals. Here are a few that I have found either at the Suffolk County Farm or the Holtsville Ecology Center.
These may not be large/small scale paintings but the practice doing the scavenger hunts has really improved my sketching and painting abilities.
 
This group was done at the Suffolk County Farm in Yahpank.
