Skimming the Waves, Modern Pelican in Flight

Skimming the Waves, Modern Pelican in Flight

Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture by Geoffrey C. Smith

11"L x 10"W x 30"H

 

Skimming the Waves captures a pelican in the very poetry of flight—wings stretched wide, beak angled with purpose, body arcing gracefully over a sea-swept curve. This modern bronze sculpture balances realism with elegant abstraction, the bird’s textured patina flowing from soft ochres into sea-glass blues. Its curved base evokes the rhythm of ocean swells, lifting the pelican in a timeless moment just above the water’s surface. There’s a lightness here—an effortless glide—that speaks to the freedom and instinct of coastal life. This piece celebrates not just motion, but the quiet power of presence in nature’s wild, windblown beauty.
