Black Skimmer Feeding

bronze with black walnut base, 32” x 18” x 20"

SOLD

The Black skimmer glides over the surface of the water in search of dinner with an elegant grace and beauty unmatched in nature. As a boy the artist was fascinated by Skimmers when he observed an original Audubon print on exhibit at the Peabody Museum at Yale University. He has since viewed them first hand at the mouth of the Housatonic River near his home. Each summer they also frequent the local salt ponds of Rhode Island.

Peter captures the moment and movement with his Bronze. This piece was originally sculpted in Black Walnut and cast as a limited edition of seven castings.
