King Eider in Flight captures the striking beauty of this vibrant sea duck mid-wingbeat, soaring above quiet marshland at dawn. Rendered in soft chalk pastels, the piece blends delicate gradients of sky and water with the bold, sculptural markings of the bird’s plumage. The King Eider’s vivid bill and distinctive facial pattern stand out against the muted grasses below, creating a dynamic balance between motion and stillness. The gentle blur of the background suggests a fleeting moment—one glance at a rare and elegant traveler passing through. This artwork invites viewers to pause and appreciate the grace found in the natural world’s most fleeting scenes.
