In Morning Kestrels, Jennifer Bain captures a vertical sweep of nature infused with light, grace, and quiet vigilance. Two American kestrels are perched among abstract, flame-like foliage, their alert gazes and finely rendered forms set in contrast to the fluid energy of their surroundings. The vertical composition emphasizes a sense of height and movement, guiding the eye upward through vivid bursts of crimson, green, and ochre.

Painted in ink and acrylic on clayboard, Bain’s surface technique allows for both luminous transparency and crisp detail. The kestrels are depicted with striking naturalism—their feathered patterns and subtle postures suggesting both watchfulness and repose—while the surrounding botanical elements pulse with expressive color and rhythm.

With its commanding scale and refined balance of realism and abstraction, Morning Kestrels is a statement piece that evokes both the stillness and vitality of the natural world. Ideal for collectors and designers seeking a bold, vertical work that brings organic motion and avian elegance into the interior space.
