Description
The spirit of a hawk perches in a tree on top of an Arizona mesa. This image is a composite of two watercolor paintings. I superimposed the bird painting over the tree landscape painting, and had a difficult time deciding where to place the bird. I asked my friends for their votes, and most liked this one as opposed to the one with the bird on the lower right. I decided to show both versions.

Love this watercolor with its twisted tree and the spirit of the hawk. This is pure beauty with a deep message about disappearing species that we have taken so for granted. Wonderful as always, Anne!

Michael, I always appreciate your thoughtful and insightful comments, thank you!

Revisiting this beautiful painting.. I was curious about the "How" on the hawk. What a creative idea about capturing the viewer's imagination. Well done.

Very interesting concept of the spirit hawk. I love the way you painted that old tree, and the rugged landscape. Your watercolour technique is excellent. You are able to achieve broad range of textures and tonalities. Beautiful.
