House Sparrow

I really didn't know male and female sparrows have different colors
until I took pictures of them while there were singing on our
balcony.
.
I painted them with watercolors in my new tiny Moleskine
watercolor notebook.
When I took a close look at their photos I realized that they are
very different! You can read more about them here in Wikipedia.

These are the photos that I took from them. They both have something
in their beaks and still were singing! :)) I guess their nest is very close
and they're taking food to their chicks.

If you're looking for a very good watercolor notebook you'll love this one.
I bought this one from Ebay but they sell them in most craft stores.
You can also find them in Moleskine website.

ooo yes... that's the next essential I must buy, at the moment all my doodles are on scraps of paper. It drives my husband bonkers, lol.

As always you're a super artist. I'm soooo jealous :)
