Sketching the Crows

crow sketch 5 x7" pen










I have a thing for birds. Maybe it is because they have been given iconic status in culture (the bald eagle on the presidential seal). I have often used them as my muse. The crows are frequent visitors. They often have walnuts that they have pilfered from our neighbors trees. These crows are extremely intelligent and curious. I can see why they have been endowed with power and mystery across cultures.
