Red Sandhill Cranes Painting

There's something magical about hearing Sandhill Cranes calling overhead during their fall migration. Have you ever stopped to watch these majestic birds soaring across the sky?

This painting captures their graceful movement using:

Shimmering gold iridescent paints
Delicate origami papers
Original hand-drawn illustrations
Subtle mountains below

This is a large piece, painted across two canvases. It sat unfinished in my studio for a year and a half before I finally felt called to bring it home. The metallic details catch the light beautifully throughout the day.
