Merlin

The merlin is a compact falcon — maybe the size of a blue jay or pigeon — with the attitude of something five times its size. I have seen maybe two in my life. This painting is my attempt to hold onto what those moments felt like: the electric surprise of an apex predator small enough to fit in your hand.
