Wildlife art: three pencil studies of ospreys - 18Kb

The relationship of the free-flying hunting male and his nest-bound partner has an intriguing quality.
The earth, the tree, the nest and the sitting female are only divided by the limitations of our minds. The air is the natural element of the bird. The water is the natural element of the fish. The male osprey completes the circle of the ancient elements ... only fire is missing!
