Northern Harrier


 

Northern Harriers are fairly common in our area but it is still thrilling to come across one gliding silently low over the fields and marshes.  This is a page from my journal which I made after seeing a harrier in Rancho San Antonio Open Space.  I had  fun playing with weed textures and I liked the sketch enough to use it as a basis for a painting.

I was introduced to your work in my sketch class by Georgesse Gomez. I enjoy painting birds as well. I particularly like this beautiful Northern Harrier piece. The reeds are what stand out the most. The colors are warm and inviting and you can picture yourself being there with the Harrier surprising you in a fly by. Just lovely.

Thank you Shiree. The surprise of suddenly seeing the Harrier is exactly the feeling I was trying to convey. Thanks for letting me know.
