Wild Vermont Transit

 My 3rd puzzle in partnership with Vermont Puzzle is now available.

Wild Vermont Transit features a quintet of bow tie clad Vermont animals waiting patiently amongst the fall foliage for the bus to arrive. If you are interested in purchasing one for a friend or yourself you can visit my website at barclay-studio.com

Bow Tie Guy of the Day: Rowlet

Rowlet

My youngest son wanted me to draw this because this pokémon has a bow tie. Rowlet is a new starter pokémon from Pokémon Sun game. I have never been into the game, but I could not pass up this wonderful opportunity to spend time with my son drawing.

Bow Tie Guy of the Day: Barn Owl

Barn Owl (bärn oul)
Another one of our visits this past week was to the Acropolis. As the symbol of Athena is the owl I thought it wise to draw an owl bow tie guy. The barn owl is the one that looks the most wise to me.

Tomorrow I hope to post some of my sketches from the trip.

Sketching at VINS-Snowy Owl

A few weeks ago i visited the Vermont Institute of Natural Science to spend time studying the raptors they have rescued. It was a wonderful visit. You can see some other owls I sketched here. This is the Snowy Owl they rescued.

Sketching at VINs in Woodstock, VT

On Tuesday I took my animal sketching class to the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) to draw the birds. They have a bird refuge where they house aviary that cannot be released back into the wild because of injuries they have sustained. I highly recommend visiting. Not only is it a great place to draw, it is also a great place to support. They do wonderful work and the Birds are so majestic.

These are two of the Eastern Screech Owls they have. They were easier to draw because they held still for us.
