A fish hawk clutches a silvery fish in its talons while suspended mid-dive, wings spread wide in dynamic motion against a soft cream background. Dark brown and charcoal feathers contrast sharply with the bird's pale breast and the glimmering scales of its catch, rendered with meticulous ornithological precision in watercolor and ink. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
