Description Created for my AP art class portfolio.

Red-tailed Hawk.  Painted from a photo by the incredible Christopher Martin (used with permission).  See the original photo here: chrismartinphotography.files.w…

Juvenile Red-tailed Hawks don't even have red tails!  I changed the hawk into the adult plumage for my painting.  I've always been a little afraid to paint red-tails because of the subtle complexity of their markings.  I think I managed to capture it, especially on the raised wing.
