MYTHICAL BIRD |
The bird has a large piercing eye; yellow crest and tail; green, black and grey wings; red legs with sharp curling talons; sandy pink feathers to the body; and a black speckled neck. It stands on a patch of grass dotted with delicate small flowers. Tall, poised and alert, with just opening wings and arched talons, the bird seems about to stalk across the page or take off in flight, a sense of movement heightened by the grasses that lean towards the right, as if swept by the wind. |
