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.
he is a fine fella and I can understand why he's shocked to see the sun,, I am as well!!!! Been a while lol,,
ReplyDeleteLove the gesture of the crow! A very creative painting!
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks, 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!
ReplyDeleteI like the blue-violet color too. suggests iridescence
The stance of the crow is so natural. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Laura and Asit!!
ReplyDeletelots of movement to the crow :)
ReplyDeletethere is a story about a raven stealing the sun in the Haida mythology, they have a lot of great tales :
