the drongo

This piece was inspired out of my bushwalk in Kakadu National Park, where I walked for 14 days backpacking in the wild, with a group, some of them keen birdwatchers. The spangled drongo does indeed exist, and many of our sightings of this one, as well as others, was where the bird was!

bird vs cat

For the IF topic of "perennial", I thought of the old bird/cat relationship, not normally a friendly one.
This one is from a hand drawn sketch, then using Illustrator and Photoshop. I am painting another one on board using acrylics, but it is a bit slower to do.
