The Osprey is located worldwide. A resident of Sicily, it can be found living in the wooded countryside near lakes and rivers. It winters near large expanses of fresh, brackish, or salt water. We have Ospreys here on our California coast that fly up from the ocean to nest high up in the branches of our tall redwoods. I painted on this antique Italian postcard using gouache and watercolor. Then collaged on it using antique ephemera including a piece of an Italian envelope, Italian stamp, and money receipt. I also collaged with a torn piece of marbled paper that I collected on a trip to Venice.
