ON YUPO - CROW NO. 2



This crow is saying, 
What is that thing in the sky??

Oh, yeah, it's the sun.  It's been a while since we've seen much of it here in Kentucky so she's a bit confused.




Second crow of April - on Yupo.  I won't paint them all on Yupo but thought I'd start that way and see where it goes.  I will also do some on my hotpress paper, and maybe even rough Arches.  Or a print, or...so maybe days in April and so many ways to go with the crows.

Love the gesture of the crow! A very creative painting!
And there's not much sun around here either, Rhonda, but the trees have been getting a good soak before the summer heat, so that's something good :)

Thanks so much, Laurie. We are having April showers now but warmer weather.

Thanks, Chris. I am using birds I take photos of for reference (and not crows because I only have about a dozen photos of crows taken through the years), plus online references (since I'm not going to gain monetarily from these I think it's ok). Yes, April showers now...

Fantastic pose ... he looks like he's about to launch!
I like the blue-violet color too. suggests iridescence

The stance of the crow is so natural. Fabulous.

lots of movement to the crow :)

there is a story about a raven stealing the sun in the Haida mythology, they have a lot of great tales :
