Description I painted this as a donation to Audubon's Wild Arts Festival.  Each 6"x 6" painting is sold at the festival in Portland, and the proceeds go to help wildlife, especially birds.  What a wonderful cause!

American Kestrels are gorgeous!  Their markings look like they have been painted; I can imagine an angel carefully painting on each delicate polka-dot and stripe.  They also have personalitis disproportionate to their tiny bodies (which are no bigger than a robin).  Maybe they have a Napoleon complex?

Watercolor and ink, 6"x 6"

Aw, thanks!  I checked out your gallery and it's AMAZING! Your portraits of birds of prey are soooo good.  I can tell you have serious skills.  Keep it up!
