Seriously?

Seriously?, 8x8, Oil Painting on Hardboard, SOLD

Look at that expression! Can you say skeptical? Are you going to try "that's my story and I'm sticking to it"? I think she's got you figured out, better go to Plan B!

What's Your Point?

And Your Point Is?, 8x8, Oil Painting on Hardboard, SOLD

Look at that face! This little black crow is so cute and fluffy looking...until you look at his expression. If that is not an "in your face" statement, I don't know what is! Maybe he just doesn't like his picture taken. Danged paparazzi...

Watch Your Step!

Be Careful, Myrtle, That First Step's A Doozey, 8x8, Oil Painting on Hardboard, SOLD

Isn't that nice? One crow helping another? I'm sure that step IS quite a doozey when you're a bird!

Found these two in Manhattan, Kansas. There were actually four birds in the group but I found it interesting how one of them turned around to help the other. Who says chivalry is dead?

It has been awhile since my last post, the holidays took all my spare time. And I found out I'm going to be a grandmother! Can't wait...but I will try to get some painting done while I'm waiting...

Big Trouble

You're In Big Trouble Now, 8x8, Oil Painting on Hardboard, SOLD

The expression on this little guy's face is just priceless! With his wings folded behind his back, he looks like he's giving you "that" look. Like you've broken curfew......or been sent to the principal's office......not that I would recognize that from personal experience but I have heard stories........ *big grin*

I'm Still Burnin'

Doing The Neutron Dance, 8x8, Oil Painting on Hardboard

These two were running away from me at a stoplight. I know, who can imagine that any bird would run away from a crazy woman holding a big, black, boxy thing in front of her face! I caught them mid-stride and all I could see was two crows dancing. Being from the disco era myself, I could hear the Pointer Sisters singing "Neutron Dance" as I was painting. So here they are, just burnin' Doing The Neutron Dance!

Hey, Posh, Look At Me!

Bend It Like Beckham, 8x8, Oil Painting on Hardboard, SOLD

Found these guys in a parking lot eating an apple. The one on the right was rolling it around. I thought it looked like they were playing soccer! So here they are, bending it like Beckham.

This painting is now in the possession of a friend who is moving from Wichita. I will miss her. We have been painting together, off and on, for several years now. Pat, I hope you are enjoying your new home. Please come back to visit!

Work It!

Strut, 8x8, Oil Painting on Hardboard, SOLD

I found this little guy in a parking lot in Wichita, Kansas. Such a confidant crow! He could be working the runway. I have named this painting "Strut" because he is seriously strutting his stuff!

It's getting to be crow time again here in the midwest. I have had to rely on photos taken a few months ago for my painting references. That's not a problem as I have thousands of them! But it's so exciting to find new crow situations. Looking forward to future photo safaris!
