CROW WITH RED RIBBON (THE GIFT GIVER)

I was inspired to create this mixed media piece after reading about a little girl in Seattle who fed crows in her backyard and they began to bring her small trinkets. Read more about her story here. Thanks to you, Gabi Mann, you are a gift!

12" x 12" shadowbox frame, oil and found objects.

CROW PAINTINGS ON CLOUDY DAYS

SOLD

Title "It's Only Misting" 8"x 10" $125.

Another set of crows in the series of weather related crows.  I hope to complete 2 more to make it a dozen. My grandkids are here now  are visiting from Los Angeles; so painting will have to wait while I get to enjoy their company.  Part of the process in creating the pieces are to collage the one side.  Many times I see a certain image in a magazine and that will get me started, but finding other elements to complete the collage may take some rummaging through all my magazines to find what I feel works and balances with the original image.  I paint all the crows from photos I have taken and recently bought a new camera with a 35x zoom lens because they are such flighty birds and take off as soon as I get any where near them. These two are 8"x 10" on cradled 3/4 inch boards.

Crow Paintings again ( BOTH SOLD)

            More crows with attitudes.  They are such funny birds.  I see them everywhere strutting around, giving each other a hard time.  They are so easy to personify.  The guy on the left is titled " what's it to you?" and the guy or gal on the right is titled "Don't mess with me!"
