11x14" scratchboard with colored inks. It is based on a photograph I took at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh. This was my first try coloring scratchboard and it was kind of an adventure!

I gave the original to my great aunt for her 100th birthday in early October 2009. Prints are available (note me.)

I am in awe! :D Scratchboard is one of my favorite mediums, but I've never yet felt confident enough to color it!This is really incredible, the detail work on each individual feather, the exact attention to lighting...amazing work!!!!! I don't know what else to say!
