medical illustration of Common Redpoll, plumage, red patch, winter visitor, Red Osier dogwood, alder, birch Common Redpolls, shown here in paler winter plumage, range throughout the Northeast and Canada and often arrive as visitors in large flocks. They prefer brushy, weedy areas and catkin-bearing trees like alder and birch. The red patch on the head is a good identifier. They are show here with branches of Red Osier dogwood. This scene was painted with transparent watercolors and white gouache on Arches paper.
Next medical illustration of Ryoporus badius, polypore, decompose, hardwood, decaying Royoporus badius, also known as Polyporus badius, is among the more colorful polypores to be found on decaying hardwood logs, helping to decompose the wood. Very tiny pores are shown in the detail of the underside of the cutting. This fungus is found across the North American continent in spring and fall in the cooler latitudes. Transparent watercolors on Arches paper for a project with a private client.
