Corvids are amazing. They are beautiful, intelligent and quite versatile. With more than 120 species it’s a pity that only a few popular species can be found in art. So I painted one of the lesser-known ones with an odd English name, the Alpine Chough.

It’s finally finished! Just over a year ago I started drawing some mountains and a sketch of the bird. Then I wasn’t sure how to continue and didn’t touch it again in months. But I liked the idea enough to rework it now.
