Woodpecker

I took ten minutes for myself while the kids were watching Shaun the Sheep, and sketched this woodpecker. The details look different in different light, so I included several photos, one in natural light, one under fluorescent, and then the last modified in Brannan filter from Instagram. This was sketched on orange paper, so the colors don't transfer to a photo well. Plus I didn't use the fancy camera for the photos, just the one that was handy - the iPod Touch. Felt *great* to create again, and I get a sense of full energy, and space opened up, space on the inside, as Eckhart Tolle refers to it.
