The hand cut paper hawk is mounted relief style on acrylic painted canvas. Birds are so beautiful in their displays on landing, and I wanted to catch the moment here as this hawk reaches out with its talons for a branch. The edges have been left ragged as it emphasizes the natural environment the bird would be seen in. Straight edges would make the work less spontaneous and wild.
