Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture by Geoffrey C. Smith
12" L x 15" W x 27" H

Flushing Snipe depicts a pair of long-billed shorebirds bursting upward in flight, wings stretched wide and feet just clearing the marsh below. Their bodies arc around a gently curving reed, frozen at the instant of liftoff with energy and precision.
 
In this sculpture, Geoffrey C. Smith captures the alertness and agility of a species often glimpsed only for a split second in the wild. The upward momentum of the birds and the elegance of the supporting form create a composition full of motion and balance. With subtle patinas and carefully observed detail, Flushing Snipe invites viewers into a fleeting moment of wild instinct and grace, when a quiet marsh suddenly springs to life.
