That's a turkey vulture.

radiantfractureAaaah I love this guy. My new favorite painting - the turkey vulture.
I tried out a looser, more watercolour-inspired style with this painting and while I did also go in and do some detailing, I really like the effect.
(The paint is gouache, more commonly used for its density and intense colour -- which it is also showing off here!)
The freeness of this painting shows the lack of pressure I felt compared to the commission I just did -- which I do also like, but it is tighter and more graphic in style. Sigh. Ironies.
It's a dull cloudy windy day, but I think this photographed up pretty well.
