Tibetan Snow Pigeon - a watercolor painting

This is a watercolor painting of a Snow pigeon from Tibet. Last summer I went on a kick of painting beautiful pigeons from all around the world. (I do hope to still make more)

Here’s the information about this pigeon from Merlin - Often seen swirling around rock faces and cliffs in high mountain passes, this highland pigeon usually occurs in pairs or medium-sized flocks. Unlike any other pigeon, with a dark gray head, white neck and underparts, and gray wings with broad brown bars towards the tip. Occasionally visits villages and fields, but skittish and generally less approachable than Hill Pigeon and Rock Pigeon.

This is a watercolor painting on paper made by Jeannie Ortiz in 2025.

It is in an archival matte with backer board that measures 11“ x 14“ or 28 cm x 35 1/2 cm
