My teabag art for today is of the crow.

My teabag art for today is a crow (very abundant and quite annoying in our area - they sit right outside the window and squawk for hours on end).  I do love the myriad of colors you can see reflecting off of their shiny black feathers, though, which is what prompted this painting.  This was an unused teabag primed with clear gesso.  It was painted with watercolor and details added with prisma watercolor pencils.
