Christine McDonald's Bird of Prey

Visited the Arts Guild of Sonoma to gaze. The best piece in the house was this bird painting by artist Christine McDonald. Very commanding. The constraining collar or halo? - is a great addition, don't peck me! For house music they were spinning some Jesus and the Mary Chain which was a blessing to my ears.
Nice piece, Christine!
