Tiny birds cross enormous distance a little at a time. The flock moves steadily until vast distance has gradually been crossed through continual movement and persistence.
 
 
The birds become smaller as they move farther outward, nearly disappearing into the sky. Together they continue forward across immense space, not through force or spectacle, but simply by continuing on.
 
 
Gold leaf birds move across layered atmospheric color and shift between brightness and shadow depending on the angle of light. The painting was built through many underlying paint layers, allowing texture, shifts in color, and bits of earlier history to remain visible throughout the piece.
