Being my friend means that if you ask for a piece of art it'll probably take me about six months to complete it. Not because I don't like you, it's because I procrastinate like woah.
I would like to note that a buddy asked me to paint a red tailed hawk in January. I finally sent him a sketched out idea sometime in April...maybe even May.
The sketch was given the thumbs up and so I got started.
Cutting this out took a lot of patience. What a lot of work!
Coming along. I took this photo to show a size comparison to my feet.
A close up of the face in progress. The final touches include the black lines and the color in the eyes. At this point he's looking more angry than regal.
The completed piece. It's about 3 feet wide and 2 feet tall. Acrylic painted on 3/4" plywood.
Detail of the wingtip.
Another detail shot. I'm loving the colors of this piece!
I also love how I was completely trusted with the outcome of this piece. The official commission was: "Red tailed hawk, your style." And that was it. How awesome is that?! I assure you, this is a responsibility that I don't take for granted.
