Osprey with fish

Oil on canvas
Gold osprey pendant

I could not resist making this painting from the sketch I had made in the field of an osprey (Pandion halietus) fishing. The contrast of the bird against the Scottish Highland landscape invited a 'free brush' approach, almost animating the movement of the wings.
