Description
The basis of this piece is a piece of a map, a map called the "Pilot Chart of the North Pacific Ocean," printed in 1944 by the U.S. Navy. I got it at a flea market. Other items are a star chart, a crow I photographed on the Oregon coast, a diagram showing how a seagull flies, foreign currency, and more. What I like is how the crow, dark as night, stands out against the star chart and the map.

This is beautiful, Carol! I think you can tell I'm a great fan of your work, and this is a wonderful piece!

Love how there is no colour to distract from the wonderful detail. Beautiful work.

I hadn't thought of color being a distraction, but you're absolutely right. Thank you, Jan.
