Sandhill Crane - Custom Order
Sandhill cranes are some of Florida’s original snowbirds, coming every year to stay for the colder months. In the winter of 2017 the water table was so low at Paynes Prairie near my home, that most of the land was exposed, opening up lots of sites for nesting. When the flocks of returning birds came that year they loved staying on the Prairie. There were tens of thousands of cranes that year. It was sandhill cranes everywhere you looked on the prairie from horizon to horizon. It was a crane party, a raucous joyful muddy celebration rivaling any Florida spring break craziness. These designs are from photos I took during the winter of 2017 at Paynes Prairie.
The design is constructed facing both the interior and exterior of the glass to create a piece of art that can be viewed and enjoyed from any angle, and changes as you turn the glass. The two opposable images work together to create a depth to the artwork. With liquid in the glass, the interior facing design is amplified creating a dramatic effect. On many pieces the artwork has a textural quality, adding touch to the stimulations of visual, smell and taste while drinking. The painting is constructed so that it will transform as the day’s light intensity changes, similar to a stained glass effect. The design is available in a variety of sturdy glass& fine crystal glassware styles including wine glasses, champagne flutes, martini and margarita glasses, rocks and hi-ball glasses, and tea/coffee mugs. Pitchers and vases are also available with this design. Customization to suit individual tastes is welcomed at no extra cost. You can specify preferences on the contact page when you order the pieces. The artwork is painted to order, so please allow a week for creating your art piece.
