oh baby it's cold outside

At least temporarily it is very chilly outside, and hot tea was a requirement at the studio yesterday as I began work on the red lored parrot. I took some process shots to show you when the bird is a little farther along, and I am hard at work to get this commission completed and on its way to its new owners. The high temperature in DC today is forecast to be 30 degrees F. I saw snowflakes falling on my way home yesterday and really hope that we have an easy winter after the last two. Snow, snow go away.
