The Heart of Hawk
The Heart of Hawk is #11 in my series of birth totem animals. It represents people born between March 21 and April 19. The painting of this piece went relatively smoothly. I knew what words I was going to write almost from the very start, and that seemed to keep me focused in the painting. I had fun with the feathers, creating patterns with dots of color. The hawk in the painting is roughly modeled after a Red Tailed Hawk, but I took lots of artistic license!
I've always been attracted to hawks, and living in a rural farming community gives me great opportunity to interact with hawks on a regular basis. This year we have a family of Sparrowhawks (really, they aren't true hawks, but falcons) living close by, and they delight us with fly-bys as we sit on our deck in the early evenings. We've also had a pair of Swainson's Hawks that nest in the old cottonwoods - they return year after year, raising their broods. It's fun to watch the babies as they learn to fly! Once in awhile a Red Tailed Hawk will hunt in our fields, but it seems like we see them in the larger fields that we pass on our way into town. They like to sit up on the utility poles and wait for a snack to come by. Lots of times we see them with some unfortunate snake gripped firmly in their talons as they wing off to a perch to eat.
Those born under the sun sign of the Red Hawk are likely to be adventurous and assertive. Along with creativity,
they harbor a desire to be free and unencumbered. Those people closest to them may consider them to be a bit
headstrong at times.
