Eyes of the Raptor
Hawk or Eagle
Raptors alike
My heart beats
like a mother drum
in the shadow
of the inscrutable
scrutiny

I love working in these media as there is such depth to the color and the layers of richness. Also, the detail possible can be stunning. I was first introduced to them when scrutinizing the work of Susan Boulet. They seem to have been her most favored media. I find myself lapsing into their use every now and again, and honoring her Shaman Spirit with my own.
