RYAN KIRBY
The Departure | Oil on Linen | 48” x 36” framed
TheDeparture, was chosen as the 2023 Featured Painting and depicts a trio of pheasants soaring together through a field. In addition to studying, sketching and planning the composition of the piece, Kirby spent 11 days in the studio and nearly 100 hours bringing the painting to life. “I wanted to recreate the heart-stopping moment when the birds take flight. I sketched, researched and sketched some more before settling on this composition of this trio taking flight. But no matter how many pieces I’ve painted, each one has it’s own plot twists, just like the unpredictability of the flush. Until you put a brush to canvas, you never really know what’s going to happen,” shared Ryan Kirby.
