Sandy Hokanson: RUBY CROWNED KINGLET- WOODLAND SANCTUARY (Note Card)

IN A WOODLAND SANCTUARY... RUBY- CROWNED KINGLET: Note Card- by Sandy Hokanson 

Poem on back: A SMALL GEM CATCHES THE LIGHT IN A WOODLAND SANCTUARY- MY EYES TRACE IT'S PATH THROUGH TANGLES OF GREEN- UNTIL A RUBY FLASH AND A MIGHTY VOICE ANNOUNCE THE PRESENCE OF A LITTLE KING

Sandy: "For many years I painted in a realistic style using acrylics or watercolors.  Now I prefer the challenge of focusing less on every feather and more on creating a clean design of each bird." "Some of my finished works are created by making detailed drawing using permanent inks which are then scanned into my computer. Others are hand drawn directly into the computer using either a mouse or a special pen and pad.  Next I'll create a unique palette of colors to layer over the drawings.  Each color is a separate layer - which means some pieces can have up to 25 layers or more. The end result is a crisp, graphic illustration."
