Unflappable
Unflappable
By Sarah St. George
Unflappable is a stunning 16 x 16 inch study in tranquility and grace by Colorado artist Sarah St. George. Utilizing pastel on panel, St. George captures a solitary American White Pelican gliding across a rhythmic surface of water. The artist’s keen eye for color is evident in the subtle violets and cool blues of the ripples, which provide a sophisticated backdrop for the brilliant, sun-drenched whites of the bird’s plumage.
The composition is remarkably balanced, emphasizing the bird's namesake "unflappable" nature amidst the gentle, shifting patterns of its environment. By working in a square format, St. George focuses the viewer’s attention on the intricate textures of the feathers and the orange-gold glow of the pelican’s bill. Housed in a bold black frame with a gold inner lip and protected by archival glass, the work feels both classic and distinctly contemporary. It is a quiet, powerful celebration of Colorado’s diverse wildlife.
