Through Open Air

A bald eagle moves steadily through layered mountain air, wings extended in quiet command. The landscape does not frame the bird as an emblem, but as a participant—trees, sky, and distant peaks holding space for its passage. This painting reflects a moment of sustained motion rather than spectacle, inviting the viewer into attentive observation rather than narrative conclusion.
