Bird Project, Panel 1: California Quail (mama with four chicks)

I'm planning nine panels for this project--which would make it a "triple triptych" or "ennea-tych," I guess.

This first panel depicts the state bird of California. I completed it a little while ago, but thought it would be appropriate to post it on Mothers' Day. (Note: I know it's "supposed" to be "Mother's Day," but that just doesn't make sense to me.) Happy day of honoring mothers, everyone!
