Langham Collection — Belted Kingfisher Size:18x18 This red-tailed hawk pastel paintingThis Langham Collection bird print comes from a body of work I created for The Langham Hotel Boston a two year collaboration that placed my watercolors in the hotels guest rooms as permanent art in residence. The Langham selected four species blue jay, tree swallow, great blue heron, and belted kingfisher for their connection to New Englands natural landscape, and I painted each one specifically for the intimate scale and quiet light of a hotel room.
