A Black Winged Bird



                                                      An original scratchboard drawing
                                                      9x12" unframed, - (mat size, 15x18")
                                                      $40.00, - (plus $15.00, pack and ship)

     This little bird study is one of the group of early scratchboard drawings
which I mentioned in my previous posting.  I'm not positive about what kind
of bird it was, but I think it was probably a scarlet tanager.
     (For those who are unfamiliar with scratchboard work, it is a reverse drawing
process, in which fine pointed instruments are used to scratch white lines through
the black-coated surface of the art board, to the white layer underneath.)
