Dinner rush at Henley Lake

Dinner rush at Henley Lake by Louise Thomas

Three black shags (Phalacrocorax carbo) clash in a dramatic struggle over an eel at Henley Lake in Masterton. Water splashes and churns as the chase unfolds, capturing the intensity, motion, and raw urgency of feeding time. The painting freezes this moment of chaos and competition on the lake's surface.

Acrylic on block canvas, 16 by 20 inches (51cm X 40.5cm). Ready to hang.
