A red-tailed hawk spreads its wings in a dynamic upward sweep, captured mid-flight with wings fully extended and talons visible. Rendered in watercolor with warm golden-browns, deep blacks, and soft blue-gray washes, the bird radiates power and grace against a luminous white ground. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
