Bird Art by H.J. Ruiz

A number of times I’ve mentioned that I’m a photographer and artist. I’ve always kept my art separated from my photography but I’ve been neglecting my artist life for a few months and that’s not a good thing. I have been so busy and excited with Photography and birds mainly.

I’m including my art to this blog because it will be only having birds as my main subject.

Here are some simple samples of what I’ve done: You’re free to make your comments and ask any questions!

Wow these drawings are brilliant HJ! Easily on the same level as your photography, both as lovely as each other. My favourite is the starling 🙂 ♥

My favourites are all water birds ! – dunno why … The pelican, the swan and the best of all, the duck ! I have come to realize that I simply adore ducks. 😀

  With birds is just like with colors, everyone has a different favorite color, however, they have no idea why they have it. I think you like white a lot! 🙂

    No … I think that I have a penchant for water birds, HJ: the more I think about it, the more I realize it’s true … 🙂

Do you sketch from memory or pictures or how exactly? I love the swan. . . .

  I sketched those birds based on photos I’ve shot. That’s a Black Swan. Thanks Anne! 🙂

    Your blog is one of my favorites. I like to draw sometimes, and I even drew a blue jay in one of my posts this past summer.
