Snowy Loon Sold

Submitted to Regional Art Competition

Once upon a time, there was a bird named Snowy Loon, carved meticulously from cherry wood by a skilled artisan. Born from the whirling dance of a lathe, Snowy Loon’s form took shape, only to be cut apart and reassembled like a puzzle.

With each slice and stroke, his feathers emerged in intricate detail, etched with tales of the forest. Wood-burned patterns adorned his wings, whispering secrets of ancient trees. Carved with care, Snowy Loon came to life, his essence captured in the grain of the wood.

Finally, painted with delicate strokes, he shimmered with the colors of dawn. Snowy Loon soared into the world, a testament to the artistry of creation and the beauty found in every twist and turn of his wooden form.
