West Virginia Birthday Piece for 2008 reveiled!


The latest West Virginia Day Piece is inspired by both the calm of evening AND the promise of a new day with its complementary orange/blue color scheme and graceful wings.

The vessel suggests mountains at dawn as sunlight streams joyfully through early morning clouds. Clear blue sky and bright orange sun celebrate the beginning of another fruitful day.

It also implies evening, when dusky hills undulate through shafts of sunlight and ribbons of mist; owls call and rivers trickle through peaceful valleys.
