Sandy Hokanson: ALL IS QUIET... BLUE JAY -- (Note Card)

ALL IS QUIET... BLUE JAY- A note card from local artist, Sandy Hokanson. In this original illustration titled "ALL IS QUIET - BLUE JAY" by Sandy Hokanson, a normally noisy Blue Jay sits quietly among a thicket of wintry branches, contemplating  the snow falling gently around. This image is available as a signed 12" x 12" shrink-wrapped print, a signed framed 12" x 12" print, or a signed 16" x 16" metal print. 

Poem on the back of note cards reads:

all is quiet
all is calm
even the Blue Jay has stilled his voice
as snowflakes whisper
delivering a message
of renewal and joy

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."
