Regal Roadrunner
Beep beep. These guys are running all over my neighborhood during morning walks with the dog. They pop out when you least expect it and sound like tiny dinosaurs – which, honestly, they kind of are.
There's something both comical and majestic about roadrunners that I couldn't resist capturing. One minute you're walking peacefully, and the next, this prehistoric-looking bird darts across your path with its distinctive crest bouncing and feathers ruffled, making those unmistakable sounds that feel straight out of a cartoon.
I wanted to honor both sides of their personality – the regal bearing that gives them their dignity and the slightly ridiculous way they announce themselves to the world. The intricate linework and rich textures capture their striking features, from that punk rock crest to their beautifully detailed feathers.
This piece celebrates the unexpected wildlife encounters that make living in the Southwest so special. It's for anyone who's ever been startled by nature's little comedians or finds joy in the creatures that remind us we're sharing this desert with some truly unique characters. Perfect for spaces that appreciate both the beauty and humor of our wild neighbors.
