Coastal City-Themed Mixed Media Art

If you get the chance to take a nature trip through any of the swamps or forests of the southeastern United States, you may see several varieties of Cranes. The most common is the Sandhill Crane. If you're really lucky, you may see a Whooping Crane, one of the most endangered bird species in the world. Alex Zeng has gone to great lengths to capture the style and grace of these beautiful birds in this impressive piece, which belongs in the collection of any nature enthusiast.

This gentle image depicts gondolas lazing in the water in Venice, as night descends on the city. Deep shadows and blue waters paint mystery into the piece, while the red building holds the glow of the city itself. Iron sculpture is used to give depth to the poles and gondolas, while also giving the whole image a ruddy, almost unsettling effect.
