THE STORY IN THE ARTWORK
The quiet. Then the rush of wings.
First, the quiet water. Then the rush of wings, and every sense sharpens. Ducks sweep over the water as a hunter takes aim from the bank, the far trees softened by the morning light. Flight of Steel holds the tension between long waiting and sudden movement, when the world narrows to what is happening right in front of you. A gift for someone who would trade a warm bed for a morning beside the water, and come home already talking about the next one.
