Still haven't managed to procure paper, so here's another one of these... Kind of reminds me of an old rusted poster wall.

Wow!😍

My recent drawings of the Great Spotted Woodpecker and Cardinal feather, reminded me of this. I've been writing about my new Original Artwork venture here: birdscanflystore.com/feathers/

A portrait of a raven on a bright magenta background. Its eye gleams brightly. It's outlined with white sketchy lines. In the bottom left corner is the artist's signature: tg

This raven portrait is on its way to The Hague to be part of @paeartforacause.bsky.social's 2026 fundraiser to benefit people with Alzheimer's.
