Very interesting New Zealand abstract sculpture of Tara Nui a.k.a. the Caspian Tern. http://www.spiritwrestler.com/catalog/index.php?products_id=3379 I think the over all energy of the big tern is captured, but I don't feel the lines are bound to someone who has actually watched this bird do its dives. Still very compelling, but the contrast of the colors is too much to be exceptional in my view.

This Caspian Tern water color from Sweden has some very simple and compelling style http://alandaltonart.blogspot.com/2010/08/water-colours-hallogarn-31st-july-3rd.html
