Birds

Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) dives with its head angled down below outstretched wings, talons bent against the body. Gina painted it in watercolor for Inktober 2025, day 2, prompt Weave, after a section of the embroidery A Myriad of Birds, a Qing dynasty Chinese silk embroidery that the Cleveland Museum of Art dates to the 1700s or 1800s. Repeated brown and gray shapes follow the wing curves.
