A single sandhill crane stands in a prairie marsh, one foot lifted mid-step. Light watercolour washes in pale green and sepia spread to the frame edges, while fine ink linework crisply defines the bird's legs and folded wings. Slender reeds and seed heads sweep diagonally across the composition, balancing the crane left of centre.
