Study for Night Comes on Silent Wings

The night seems to steal upon us very quietly, suddenly. In Greek mythology, gods with sun chariots drive from east to west to bring about the sun and daytime; others drive across the sky, bringing us nighttime and the moon. Inspired by these myths and with the stealthy silent night flight of owls a constant throughout his work, Sabin has created a piece wherein the owl, as the symbol of the night, draws a boat with a recumbent, sleeping owl across the surface, the owl flying silently, drawing night silently upon us.
