Elva #70 and 71

This is a flight feather from some kind of woodpecker, probably a hairy woodpecker.  I found it near where we ate lunch on a lovely summer day.  Plein-air.

A spider, I'm still trying to figure out exactly what kind.  I carried my paints, stool, camera down into the woods where I found the spider, but then he moved.  .... so I painted him from the back of my camera.  I was still out in the woods so I suppose it is a plain-air painting.

Both are painted on Aquabee paper .... a nice sketchbook for field work.
