Acrylic on 10 x 10 inch deep canvas - CAD 280
"Kingfisher’s Prize" is the second piece in my kingfisher trio. Here, the bird perches with a fish in its beak, representing a moment of achievement. The background creates a sense of vast space, suggesting that while a goal has been reached, the journey continues.
The fish’s face, turned away, symbolizes that something has been gained, but not fully understood. This painting reflects moving forward, seizing moments of clarity and progress, yet acknowledging that there is still more to be discovered.
In tranquil hues of blue, brown and green,
A kingfisher poised, so serene.
With patience keen, it waits, it yearns,
For the perfect moment, it discerns.
In ripples dance, beneath the sky,
It spies its prey with eagle eye.
With grace and speed, it strikes so swift,
A fleeting moment, a precious gift.
Oh kingfisher, in colors bright,
Teach us patience, teach us might.
To wait for dreams with steady gaze,
And seize the moment, all of our days.
