The female is a very regal looking bird with a steady, direct gaze. In my latest painting, one of many inspired by these cameras, I wanted to capture the intense way she looks at me when I'm photographing her in my hide. That 'glance' seemed to me an iconic 'peregrine' pose and so that is what I focused on in this painting. Watch the clip below to see the bird in her setting and how she inspired me to pick up my paintbrushes!
