¿Lo sabía?

? American Alligators have been around for over a million years. They are plentiful now, but were critically endangered in the 1960s and 70s. Conservation efforts brought them back from the brink of extinction. You are most likely to spot American Alligators in Florida and Louisiana, where they live in lakes, ponds, and rivers, but you can find them all over the southeastern United States. They are great swimmers as they are equipped with webbed feet and strong tails that propel them through the water. The average male is 10-15 feet long, half of which is their massive tail. American Alligators can weigh as much as half a ton! While adult alligators are considered predators, baby alligators are considered prey to raccoons, bobcats, birds, and even other alligators.

Derramando el viento

Spilling the Wind se fundió en bronce de silicio en la fundición personal del artista, que ha operado con su padre desde 1983. Desde la época romana, el águila en el arte ha sido un símbolo de poder y visión clara. Aquí, el artista ha colocado al águila en un movimiento de vuelo casi vertical. Un ala se extiende hacia el cielo y la otra apunta hacia la tierra. Mientras tanto, esos ojos agudos miran hacia el futuro, quizás hacia el futuro. Observe la variación de color, que se debe a la aplicación de una pátina especial que define las plumas y ayuda a proteger el bronce.
