Description
Day 315 of my 366 daily art project! A lot more are on the way! Please read all about my project and charity below and in my journal.The focus of a bird of prey.
>>Created with charcoal and chalk on 2.5x3.5 ACEO gray 500 series Strathmore charcoal paper. About 2.5 hours.
Special thanks to Stuart Richards for the stunning photo! [link]
See all my ACEO's in my gallery here: [link] -----------------
♥ For every day of 2012, I will be drawing one ACEO sketch card. Every single one will be for sale - ALL proceeds to be donated to charity at the end of 2012.
My charity of choice is a local foundation called Alternatives to Violence, who is currently raising money to build a safehouse. This safehouse will provide a secure shelter to men, women and children who have recently escaped physical and sexual abuse.
With the safehouse, 312 individuals every year will receive crisis intervention, counseling, safety planning, advocacy and shelter.
Together, through art, we can help make a difference.

If you love this piece and the safehouse project, you can see the card to purchase at Etsy for $11 + shipping:[link]

This is awesome!
But I have to ask, everyday for 366 days?

Thinking just one day at a time is how I've made it this far! It's really too big a project to think about all at once. I can't believe I have less than 45 days left!

cool, beak looks funny though,
thers that one STROKE of chalk-on locer/inner beak, that made all the difference.It somehow gave it the HAPPY smiling emotion.
so instead of focus - of bird of prey, i think this bird of prey is in jolly mood

It doesn't look like an owl, not like a real one. It looks like a wonderful fantastic creature coming from the most beautiful fairytales written ever!
(And you thought I was talking nonsense in the begining did you not?

Haha Thank you!
I probably won't do a full 365 Project next year, though! But I will keep doing ACEOs, maybe every other day instead of every single one.
