Study - Platte River, Nebraska
Every spring, more than 650,000 sandhill cranes fly through central Nebraska on their way north to their summer nesting grounds. Droves of them fly in for hours along the Platte River so they can all convene on sandbars to roost together every night. Their gathering constitutes one of the largest animal migrations on the planet, and is something I’d wanted to witness for as long as I’d known about it. (In NEBRASKA, of all places)
This painting is a smaller study I did in preparation for another (Sandhill Crane Migration — Platte River, Nebraska) to work out the colors and overall composition. I intended to put the cranes in this one, too, but ultimately I liked it better on its own.
