“Red Tail Hawk” – 18”X 24” I frequently see hawks, with Red Tails being the most common. I wanted to simply paint a nice portrait that depicted it’s intensity and color. Red Tails, to me, have the most varied coloration depending on the lighting. At times their back and head is almost black and in bright light, one can almost see a bright golden halo glowing about it. Red Tail hawks are the “blue-collar” birds of prey. They aren’t the biggest, fastest or the most popular…but you always see them, going about their work.

This painting was selected as the 2007 Prince Edward Island Canadian Conservation Stamp
