Description
A piece I did for this year's Operation Gaia , an art project where artists create pieces based on prompts (mine was "Nest"), and then auction the art and donate the funds to the National Audubon Society.The bird is inspired by my friend's falconry bird, a Cooper's Hawk, who is both intense and in some ways (to my odd brain), maternal. What sort of nest would a wild creature of the forests have? What would she collect? Nothing so gentle and sweet as baubles and jewelry.
Watercolor on hot-press Fabriano, 8X10 inches. I will post a journal entry when this piece is up for auction, which should be next month.

I have no skill with watercolor and even if I had, there is no hope I could at any time match you.
I gonna cry, for this is beauty and I can never hope to fully match it.

This is so badass, and you did an incredible job with it! She's absolutely lovely and indeed very intense. I would love to have this piece showcasing somewhere in my home, if I had one lol. Once I get the money and the means to pay online, I would definitely love to purchase some of your arts. You are so talented and amazing!Β
