Today's Painting


oil on masonite, 5 x 7
I neglected to mark the back of the photo and therefore have no idea what manner of bird of prey this is.....any thoughts anybody? Hard to tell not being about to see the entire body. Resembles a Tawny hawk, but I am not convinced.
Have a great weekend, all. Thank to everyone for all your comments and encouragements this week. Saturday morning, I am off for my second volunteer shift at Artomatic.

Beautiful! Love the composition of this fierce guy against that glowing blue.

Another masterful piece Tracey. Yes, definitely a hawk. We have Red Tail Hawks around here...their markings are so beautiful I must do one in stained glass! We also have falcons.

Have fun tomorrow at Artomatic. Looking forward to more pictures and stories. :)

I don't know what kind of hawk he is, but I'm not messin' with him! Great detail!

Beautiful! Sorry I can't help with the identification. Love your cropping and the gorgeous blue background.
