From Both Sides Now

$600.00

Balanced on the branches of a willow arched over a pond, this kingfisher is closely inspecting the water. It gives him a good view of the creatures which live below the surface, none of which I can see. As in the song by Joni Mitchell, Both Sides Now refers to things that are seen from different perspectives. The clouds which are floating overhead are only indicated by their reflections. His gaze is intent upon the world below.

Each piece is an original. The inking and hand pulling processes contribute lovely individual differences. For shipping, they are wrapped in archival paper and shipped flat. Framed prints are available through my galleries. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
