The slightly larger and more massive female is on the right. Tilting the head like the male does here and gently caressing the partner's neck and head plumage is textbook vulture flirting. © K.

More digital paintings done in 2021, featuring the Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus). Pair-bonding and flirting in the parents, and their chick at 3 ages.

A digital painting showing a pair of adult Eurasian Black Vultures (Aegypius monachus) flirting. The male, slightly smaller in this species, is on the right. The painting captures the moment of head-tilting and gently touching of the partner's head and neck with that enormous beak. To which the partner then responds in the same fashion.

Wolfram, 2021 Digital painting showing a Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus) chick at a few weeks of age, just having mastered standing and slowly walking. The dark juvenile plumage is growing in, replacing the earlier grey down coat. The landscape in the background was a nod to Claude Lorrain's "Landscape with Paris and Oenone" (1648). © K.

I worked with (old world) vultures as a scientist for a number of years. And then had years working with them as an artist. Here is some of that work.

The amazing Eurasian Black Vulture was my muse, individuals shown here I knew personally.

For a couple of weeks in 2021, I got a kick out of painting these massive birds in juxtaposition with a small songbird each. Like a superhero and its sidekick. This is such a digital painting of a young female Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus), massive and with dark plumage, with a small Common Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) resting on her wing. © K. Wolfram 2021 A digital painting showing an adult female Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus), her back and neck feathers erect as in excitement, with a small European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) sitting on her forehead. © K. Wolfram 2021 A digital painting showing an adult male Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus) in company of a little Bluetit bird (Cyanistes caeruleus) that is perched on his neck. © K. Wolfram 2021 A digital painting showing an older adult female Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus), her plumage much brighter and brown, with a small Robin (Erithacus rubecula) sitting on her head. I was attempting a "the dynamic duo - vulture and Robin" joke in this. © K. Wolfram 2021

Hello to you all. New here, 1st post. :)

I animated a short video on the origins of the Germanic name WOLFRAM and want this as my inaugural post. May contain wolves, ravens, Norse mythology. Has audio.
