Still Water

"Still Water" 18" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas copyright 2014 K Widger
Another painting from autumn days spent at Bosque del Apache.  It's a two hour drive from our home, so we usually drive over in the afternoon to see the birds coming into the refuge from areas near by where they feast on corn and grain fields grown especially for them. Once in a while we try and make it for the sunrise fly-out, which is spectacular, with thousands of birds taking flight simultaneously.
This scene was early in the fall, at sunset. There were other cranes in the immediate vicinity, but this crane stood alone in his own private flooded field, watched only by us and a golden eagle resting nearby.  I re-arranged elements from the original photo to create a more pleasing composition, moving the horizon line, pushing the trees into the background and bringing the crane forward, which necessitated re-arranging all the reflections, as well. 
If interested in purchase, please contact me directly.
