Belle Plaine Museum Gift Shop Clerk Name tag reads Kathy, Enthusiast of Regional Flight Paths Since 1987. She speaks in a confident, whispered tone, the kind you use when recommending candy you’re not supposed to open.
KATHY (leaning on the counter with a mug that says “Not All Who Wander Are Local”) “You’re looking at As the Crow Flies? Oh honey, that’s not just birds. That’s Midwest guilt, midair. Those crows aren’t flying—they’re fleeing responsibility. You ever tell your Aunt you’d call and then you didn't? That’s what this piece feels like."
(She gestures vaguely to the postcard rack like it’s a map of unspoken apologies.) “Now, the museum says it’s about ‘the precision of memory and migratory instinct,’ but I think those birds are headed straight for an old argument no one remembers starting. Happens every time we put out the potato salad.”
(Kathy chuckles and taps the register.) “We do have fridge magnets if you want to honor your own passive-aggressive flight pattern. The one with the crow looking back over its shoulder? That’s our best seller.”
Terry has now stepped into full modern digital painting. No photography here, just vibrant color and line. Contemporary Minimalism. Simplicity refined. The piece is playful and beautiful. The production technique used to create the photograph is top-notch, ensuring that the artwork will retain its beauty and elegance for years to come.
