North America’s most widespread bird of prey. And easily the most represented species in my art portfolio. 

After finishing the Cooper’s hawk panel I wanted to put together something similar for the Red-tailed Hawk. 

Using pencil, acrylic paint and acrylic paint markers. I made this panel from scraps I picked up at various construction sites from my work. 

The composition was inspired by wildlife illustrations found in field guides from the 1970s and early 1980s. 

Thank you for looking at birds with me.
