Hummingbirds, in Big Sur, California, were "getting drunk" on these purple blossoms according to our guide, Stephen Copeland, at Ventana Inn. I did notice that the little birds had to rest often on tree branches. First time I ever saw a Hummingbird stop humming.
My friend and anatomy drawing teacher, Sarah Kaiser, works with a wonderful figure model, Janet, at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. We've been drawing her at Sarah's studio in Evanston on Wednesday nights. Great poses. Janet is also an artist and teaches painting in Chicago.
