Crowforest-1998

The Nimble Gait-1998

Buzzard-1998size: 11" x 14"
medium: drypoint scraping

Cardinal-2000size: 11" x 16"

qty of this edition: Artist Proof only
note: I got the opportunity to return to CCAD and print this plate. it was completed and printed in about 5 hours, so it's crude and would be reworked if editioned.
