Sky Necklace
10 x 8 Oil on Panel. Oftentimes in the spring when I am out and about painting or just hiking in the hills I hear the geese much sooner than I see them. When I finally locate them I often think of diamond or pearl necklaces as I watch the flocks twisting and turning in the sky above me, particularly when the sun catches the bottom of their wings every once and awhile. There have been probably millions of Snow and Canada geese flying around here lately, likely getting fed and watered up for the long trip further north. It is a sight to behold as squadron after squadron make their way overhead! I am a fortunate son.

Thank you Cyndi, this painting was a lost and found type but I persevered till I got to a place where I was happier.

Darrell~ Really enjoy your paintings- had to stop & comment on the 'feel' that comes across in them all, but this one reminded me of the white pelicans that grace the skies, rivers and ponds occasionally around where I live. You are a fortunate son for sure to live amongst such wild beauty!
