Red Tailed Hawk Raising Eyebrows Original Bird Painting

Some encounters hold a certain intensity—steady, alert, and impossible to ignore.

Part of the Urban Wildlife series, Raising Eyebrows captures the direct gaze of a Red-tailed Hawk, meeting the viewer with a bold and unmistakable presence. There’s a sharpness in its expression—almost questioning—that gives the piece its name.

Painted with expressive brushwork, warm browns and rich orange tones define the hawk against a cool, abstract blue background. The contrast creates both tension and clarity, echoing the way these birds stand out so distinctly when spotted—whether soaring above or perched and observing.

There’s something deeply perceptive about a hawk’s gaze. This piece leans into that feeling, inviting a moment of pause… as if you’ve been noticed just as much as you’ve been observing.

Raising Eyebrows is a painting about presence, awareness, and the courage to be yourself.
