Using the Fluid Watercolor paper I purchased some time ago for another black bird - not a crow, but still in the Year of the Bird theme, a grackle with a blue patch. Grackles are rowdy birds that take over the feeders, when they can, and are pretty noisy, but when the sun hits their black feathers you can see those feathers shine with blue and purple and green iridescence. Still, most people don't like them because they are so pushy.

Hi, Rhonda, a lovely work and an interesting post! You should see "Magpies" in Australia, too. They are a football team mark of Collingwood in AFL. Google it, it will come up! Cheers, Sadami
I love grackles! They make me laugh. This is a fun painting, Rhonda. Again!
Love your grackles, crows, magpies... I like them all.. You've done a great job on them... and BTW thanks for all your support during the 'Challenge'...
they can be pushy but also amusing to watch :)
I've seen magpies in the UK, but never here - I know they are in the southwest area, but none in this area, Sadami.
Thanks, Alice Jo, Barbra Joan and Jennifer Rose - and Sadami :)
Wow! stunning painting Rhonda!
