Luz del Amanecer

ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This is a group of griffon vultures perched on a rocky outcrop at dawn. For several days, Jorge visited the site early in the morning to make sketches and take photographs of these birds, eventually creating this watercolour. The observations took place in Cabañas del Castillo, in Extremadura (Spain).
