Short. Fast.

Greetings, after too long again -

So, back at the typing.

This is one of "our" backyard crows. I've photographed any and all that will let me sneak a shot. Now, have a file of about 50  - 60 images. Time for a little collaboration?  Just a little????  Yup.


Now these wary, smart, feisty birds are finding their way into drawings and paintings. Hmm... How'd THAT happen? The bears said - Take a break. Do something else. Mess around with other creatures. So I've dared the trying.

Here's Crow #2 - who is actually crow number one, but that's another story for "The Mysteries of Titling Work."


Bird is acrylic on 6" x 6" canvas. Yup. Painting. Playing with acrylic blended fibers and thick paints. And thin paints. and metallic paints. And not-really-crow-colors. But trying for some crow spirit.
Long way to go. But glad to be trying something "new." For me. Not for the folks who've depicted these wily sorts for thousands of years.

Now, it's back to applying for a few more art fairs.

And hoping that box of crow and bear art makes it safely to Art dock in Duluth, Minnesota by the end of the week.

And wishing the tappers of maple trees a good syrup season.
And stocking up for next two-day storm.

Happy Spring, Everybody!!!
