About the art: inspired by our own family of crows, who pose for the camera nearly every day and somehow remain mystical and powerful despite their absolutely ridiculous antics and the silly sounds they make. Beginning with a gesso'd canvas and a light sketch with a brush and thinned paint, then slowly working from light to dark. Alternating between brush, rubber wedge and a squeegee (to get those delicious textures at the bottom of the painting) and between hard and soft edges. Letting the planets be wonky and wobbly while the center stage crows are crisp and noble. I think Rocky and Natasha would be pleased. It is the final week of the October Reader Giveaway!

Wonderful painting. I want you to know since I started reading and now listening to your blog- Isee the crows around my house with new eyes because of you. That's a gift. Thanks.

Crisp and noble. Mystical, powerful, and absolutely antically ridiculous. YES YES YES! I wonder if your family of crows knew this is what they were electing to live as their lives!!!

Dotty!!! Antically ridiculous - made me immediately think of "magically delicious" (lucky charms cereal). I bet Rocky and Natasha want WAY MORE than a painting or two. ha ha!
