A flat photo of the black and white vultures drawing on warm medium grey paper. Two black vultures are connected by a white ring. One vulture has landed on the bottom left of the ring and is facing left, looking up at the vulture to the top left of the artwork. This vulture is coming in for a landing, its left wing forward and behind its head, its right wing forward and arcing above its head as it back-wings.

A close-up detail photo of the landed vulture. Its head is black with textured skin, its dark eyes fixed on its mate. Its hooked beak is sharp and shiny. Its wings are tucked into its body as it perches on the white ring, and its tail hangs behind.

When I think of vultures, I often picture a group of them gathered together in the valley of a burnt ochre shorn hayfield, as I make my way along the glittering white gravel road that winds through it. They were a regular siting on drives to and from our lake cottage and I always remember my mom calling and pointing them out to us.

The black vultures featured in this art print are not the same vultures that I grew up seeing, but they are equally fascinating creatures who often mate for life.

The

Fauna Collection

This collection of beautiful 4×6″ charcoal pencil and linoprint originals were created in the month of October as a meditation on the diversity of nature found in our back yards. Following prompts from the Wild October draw list, many of the creatures featured are characters in my own life story. Now it’s time for them to have a place in your home.
