Augustus - Augustus is a Sandhill Crane, among North America's oldest living bird species — remarkably unchanged over millions of years. I loved the rich layering of feathers here, and that flash of crimson above the eye that gives the species its unmistakable look. Original watercolor on archival, 100% cotton paper.
18"x24" (framed to 23"x29"), in an Italian wood frame with a metallic, champagne finish, light-colored 6-ply mat, and placed under anti-reflective Museum Glass.
