Sandhill Cranes continue


Sandhill Cranes are beautiful and fascinating birds. Some people think they are prehistoric in apperance. I think they are amazing. Right now, I am working on four small paintings of these birds. Some are on paper, which I enjoy greatly. I love the process of watching the painting form and illuninate the beauty of the birds.
This painting celebrates the shapes of the these amazing creatures while flying and just being who and what they are. It is a bit different from my usual style or rather painting format. I just wanted to show the shapes and some of their movements. I hope you like it.
Hopefully more will come soon.
