The story
The buzzard had been waiting all morning for the vole that never came. Instead, a dandelion seed, absurdly cheerful, drifted into its field of vision and hovered there, mocking the silence. It did not strike. It did not call. It merely sat, radiating the quiet intensity of a creature who had been deeply, personally offended by botany. The wind dropped. The seed landed on its beak. The buzzard blinked. Then, very slowly, it preened one feather. The fury remained. It was now a matter of principle.
The brief
A buzzard sits rigidly on a wooden fence post in a sparse, sunlit meadow, its feathers slightly ruffled, eyes narrowed in silent, simmering fury as a single dandelion floats past its beak, untouched.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
