I used gold leaf again in this second painting in the Predator and the Prey series. Life within the oval includes two nests with eggs, and a single bird. What happened to the second bird? That bird is trying to reach its nest, barely escaping the waves that surround the oval, trying to reach in and drown it. Monstrous predators lurk within the waves and on the tree—ready to grab the bird and its home if they fall into the water. Dark and somber colours depict the deathly predators. But I used gold to portray the oval and the precious life within it.
