This painting has been chosen to be included in the 2022 North Carolina Wildlife Calendar.

It captures a scene of a family of Red Shouldered Hawks that nested in my yard during the Spring of 2020. The mother hawk is feeding one of four babies as the father flies from the nest. Note the way that one of those babies is stretching his wings to fly like his dad. Having three siblings of my own, I see this piece as a little bit of my own family portrait. See my Blog for the complete story behind this family of red shouldered hawks.

This is the original painting so there is only one.  It’s painted in acrylic on a 1 1/2” thick gallery wrapped canvas and the scene continues on the edges for a very finished look. No framing is needed, but if you like frames it can also be framed.  The size of this piece is 36” x 36”.
