Whoop whoop! This graceful animal is one of the greater hard luck to winner stories.
There should be hope remaining for all the rest of us so long as life is still ours.
Hopefully this lovely painting will fly down to Port Aransas on January 20th to mingle with others for their annual whooping crane festival exhibit.
Recently, Arnica Grace has been taking her studio out of doors for some fun, fresh paintings. Here is one example of aerial perspective working to harmonize gentle coloration. A play between violets and soft golds help the viewer feel the morning breeze in their hair. Layering of glazes and impasto technique is also used to create a sense of depth and texture, especially in the watery foreground.
