Rose-breasted Grosbeak

This beautiful male was visiting a bird feeder up north and a photographer relative of mine sent a photo to me. Such a powerful beak, in the most subtle shell pink. I love his hunched, prizefighter stance and his flaming chest. I had originally intended that my bird sketches wouldn't include color, but I couldn't resist here.

I'm drawing these little sketches as a way to help send money to conservation and bird organizations during these uncertain times. 50% of the proceeds of this sale will go to help protect birds and other wildlife. 

This is a graphite, wax pencil, ink and gouache 5" x 7" drawing on hand toned paper. The drawing is matted with an archival quality soft white 100% cotton rag board; the outside of the mat is 8" x 10". The drawing is otherwise unframed.

The price includes shipping within the continental United States. No international sales at this time.
