This petite loon will steel your heart.

The stone is black with numerous underlying flecks of medium brown which gives depth and personality to the piece.

You can imagine Louis' small individual feathers.

I believe Louis is a young bird who has finally gained his mother's trust.

She has left him for a few moments to contemplate his watery environment.
