Study of a Cooper's Hawk

This detailed pastel painting captures the piercing gaze of a Cooper's Hawk perched on a branch. The naturalistic rendering of the hawk's feathers stands out in contrast to the soft, impressionistic background, evoking a sense of serenity around the vigilant posture of the bird of prey. The warm earth tones of the hawk's plumage stand out against the muted greens and blues of the surrounding foliage. The piece highlights both the bird's grace and its predatory focus.
