Peregrine Falcon (Stepping Out) Drawing

For a time in the mid-2000s I became fascinated enough by raptors that, simultaneously with doing oil paintings of various degrees of abstraction, I returned to a realist style of drawing that I had not used since I was a teenager to drew a series of peregrine falcons. This one was inspired by a nestbox photograph of a mature female falcon in Rochester, NY. Whereas most of the drawings of often gawky, immature birds were lighter and more impressionistic, most renderings of adult falcons turned out more detailed and elaborate, focused on light and dark and the birds' beauty and power. This drawing would be best framed in a double mat. It is on delicate blue-gray charcoal paper.
