My White Oak Quest began January 2023. A majestic white oak tree captivated me 24 years ago. She lives in a hedgerow on a rustic road, I regularly walk. The intricacy in her upward tilting twigs, overlapping branches, and her aging bark, are the details that describe her journey.

This female kingfisher has captured me, I developed this drawing over 4 months. As I drew I became aware of subtle feather patterns, creases tucking in under her bill. The spunky hair that sticks up in spikes when she has just been in the water. So many features that are her, I love getting to know my subject when developing a drawing.
