One of my earlier, monochromatic pieces depicting my take on the Native American myth of the thunderbird. In indigenous folklore, the thunderbird was a sacred/supernatural and gigantic eagle, and the beating of its wings caused thunder and wind storms.
Original artwork is 19 × 25″ and was created with art pens and paint pens on gray watercolor paper.

Having a great love animals, fairytales, and world mythology, Pennsylvania artist Lynnette Shelley fuses these influences into her strikingly unique illustrations. Her artwork strikes a primal chord in many viewers, with almost Jungian associations to the colors and shapes. Her artworks have been likened to images from an undiscovered ancient civilization or culture.

Top of my favorites. This is a stunning work, Lynnette. The gray watercolor paper makes a perfect, backdrop for te gold, white, and black markers used. I LOVE this.
