Live Animals Inspire at Stormwater Studios.

Jun 23, 2022

I had the pleasure of meeting some local live animals when Carolina Wildlife Center spoke at Stormwater Studios. So many oooohs and ahhhhhs as each guest made the stage. A spotted turtle, an opossum, and an eastern screech owl – red phase. There were also native non-poisonous snakes. I enjoyed every minute and even did some sketching. So very inspiring.

Click images to see the sketches closely.

Ruby, the Eastern Screech Owl could hear every heartbeat in the room.  AND, my pencil as I furiously tried to draw her shape.

S. C. Parks and Tourism did a great job
showing non-venomous snakes from the area.
Sketching my friend Betsy too.  She loved the snakes.  They were pretty cool.

Live animals inspire me every single time. Hope you enjoyed the sketches. The paintings are already on the easel. : ) See you next week.
