The Squadron Tryptich

A three-panel commission follows Brown Pelicans in flight across a warm, sunset-lit stretch of coastline, their wings caught at different points in the wingbeat from panel to panel, while the artist himself stands within the scene holding a paintbrush. Brushed linework builds the richly patterned flight feathers across all four pelicans, while glazing technique renders the warm pink-and-blue sunset sky and calm water spanning the three panels.
