Shorebird and Beach house

We have some great friends who let us use their beach house one spring break.  This was my gift to them.  I literally stood in the ocean as it broke around me with a pad and pencil and drew their house.  While standing there, little sand pipers flew and ran around me.  They were the inspiration for this creation.  The beach house is a relief carving with a little sand piper and the bird is carved out of tupelo and painted with oils.
