From the Artist
In this painting one can almost see a setting sun over hills on a winters evening.
In parts the wings have frayed edges and some holes reminding us that nature also takes a battering from the weather. When I choose a specimen to paint it is because frequently apart from the interesting textures and shapes I am also reminded of something other than the object.
