The art-based Birdathon team. Composed of Matthew Dodder, Leena Khanzodé, and Shweta Shidhore.
For the fifth year the Birdcassos set out to celebrate the beauty andl diversity of birds in our area through painting and drawing. We ended up raising a significant amount for the SCVBA Education Program and donations are still trickling in. As always, all skill levels were welcome and stylistic approach was completely open. We began at Shoreline Lake drawing together. The air was warm and the sky a brilliant blue! The lake was showing signs of spring with a smooth surface that echoed the sounds of Black Skimmers and Forster’s Terns busying for the nesting season. After a couple of hours of rough sketching, we separated to continue drawing at home or our backyards. The artwork created by our artists is collected in the pdf linked below. Enjoy!
