“Birds of prey are a favorite subject, and I have walked many woodland trails to seek, observe and photograph them. In this painting, a peregrine falcon captures a grass snake and flies to a broken pine for lunch. But as something distracts the bird, the little snake takes the opportunity to slither from his talons. I strive to capture the detail of each feather: the way they lift slightly in the breeze and the way the sunlight reflects upon them. My hope is to capture a natural moment in time for a viewer to bring into their home.”
