Some art to end the week. My first mosaic this spring. I made this one for a friend. It is one of Australia’s smallest raptors, the Nankeen Kestrel. The Nankeen Kestrel is about the size of a pigeon apparently. The mosaic is not an exact likeness. I’ve taken some artistic licence with colours, but you will get the general idea. My phone camera took artistic licence with the colours too! My good camera gave me a mess of reflections.
Kind Regards.
Tracy.

Kestrels are wonderful birds — and our smallest raptor here in Texas. I really like this piece.

Oh, I do like that Tracy. You seem to have caught its very essence. Not that I know about Nankeen kestrels, but Other Kestrels Are Available.

Thank you, Martha. I was so pleased with how it turned out. I’m going to start my chimera next, but rather than a fiery chimera she is going to be an icy one. Kind of melting. I plan to model her eyes on Bear’s. 🙂
