Cedar Waxwing

Elegant and understated, the Cedar Waxwing is a symbol of quiet beauty. With its sleek feathers, soft gradient tones, and signature crest, this bird captures a sense of grace and harmony. I was drawn to its muted color palette and the subtle contrast of its black mask and waxy red wing tips. Rendered in colored pencil, this piece celebrates the delicate balance of form, texture, and natural serenity.
