The Pirate

The Pirate, Charcoal and pastel


This piece was done around 20 years ago and after facebooking it, thought I'd blog it as well. It's just a good ole pirate and bird as I imagined it then. Enjoy.

Eater Of The Dead

Eater Of The Dead, 13 x 16, pastel

This King Vulture is a beautiful South American vulture I found at the Carolinas Raptor Center. I surrounded it with aztec imagery to enhance the South American flavor of it's habitat. The delicate looking cream feathers on it's back I found fascinating considering it's diet. A wonderfully designed bird!

Ferruginous Hawk

Ferruginous Hawk, 10 x 20, pastel

I visited the Carolinas Raptor Center in Huntersville recently and saw this Ferruginous Hawk among others. It is the largest hawk in North America. My goal is to capture a bit of previous glory in the images of these wounded birds. Enjoy.
