New Zealand and Australia Talent Show 35

The Albatross Sprint. Along the open coast, two albatross run across the water’s surface, their enormous wings stretched wide as they beat furiously, building speed for takeoff. Droplets scatter in their wake, shimmering in the crisp air, while behind them a rugged cliff rises dramatically from the shoreline. Painterly detail captures the power, grace, and slight awkwardness of their effort — a breathtaking yet whimsical performance in the Trans-Tasman talent show, set against New Zealand’s wild coastal beauty. This artwork is available as a matte print.
