A wonderful quote and an equally wonderful and dramatic piece of art Seok! The Chinese ink style lends itself to this kind of composition and the subtlety of colour is excellent.

Excellent painting Seok, I am quite a fan of Chinese artwork, and this is a brilliant example. I must show this to my grandson who is a big fan of Chance art . The more I view it the better it looks.

I too am an admirer of this type a work, an effortless use of the elongated shape. Vultures have a very knowing look, unlike most birds. This is superb.

An excellent result in a difficult medium. Really like the expressions on the birds faces.

Chinese Ink and Watercolor on Chinese Rice Paper. Composed from photos of some vultures I took at our bird park in Singapore. Not sure why, but after I completed the painting, the 3 witches in Macbeth came to mind 😂. Hence the title, taken from the play: "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."
