A hawk rests on a weathered branch, its chest and wing built from broad, angular slabs of brown and cream laid on with a palette knife. Thick impasto gives the feathers a sculpted, almost carved feel, while a dark eye holds the pale, rough-textured sky behind it. Expressive strokes and rich oil colour make this a striking piece for a quiet wall.
