It's been a long road with this guy! Layer upon layer of color and feathers. But I truly enjoyed the trip! For anyone who takes a look and leaves a comment, I will be writing down your names and pulling them out of a hat next weekend, and the winner will receive an 8 x 10 giclee from yours truly to thank you for your continued support!
Next up will be a Great Horned Owl I think! Everyone loves my first owl and my "Happy Owl-o-ween" card so go with the flow!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing your red-tailed hawk! Also thanks for posting the stages of work. I love to see how the painting comes together step by step.
ReplyDeleteAloha, Kate
Beautiful hawk. I saw 10 of them on a recent birding trip, along with a Merlin hunting a goldfinch or yellow warbler, it got away by the skin of it's teeth! Also an American Kestrel, and No. Harrier...love the raptors...
