This evocative landscape is, for me, as much about the flocking birds as it is about the late October sunset ; "The crow makes wing to the rookie wood," as William Shakespeare observes in Macbeth.
The disposition of the the crows within the painting injects a considerable sense of movement - as I look at this picture I can hear the sound of their cawing and the wind soughing through the bare trees.
