It's All Performance Art 38

This is what I'm drawing these days.  It's called a Himalayan Monal, or Impeyan Pheasant




Isn't he a pretty little birdie!  Actually more the size of a large roasting chicken, and being of the same family, probably equally tasty as a chicken.  Don't ask me, I'm vegetarian.  How could you guess?.


here's another one




They're pretty iridescent.  Hey, they're pretty, period.  They are also the national bird of Nepal.  I have also painted them on occasion. 




There is also a Chinese Monal.  They are very rare and, I think, they are considered vulnerable



Monals ae tough birds and do well in the winter and snow.

This is a Sclater's Monal




That's all for today, Gentle Reader.  Thought you'd like something nice to look at on a near-winter day.
