Flowering Raspberry — Giclée on Paper Artwork and looked again

and looked again

the composition crackling with energy

but the animal now in violent motion

and the precision of the hovering bird's wing position shows the depth of that observation

undivided attention it deserves

Glen rendered it with the botanical completeness he brought to all his wildflower subjects: the wrinkled petals, the clustered stamens, the specific leaf venation.
