Clever Crow


 Gouache on Paper 5x7    SOLD

Crows are not only clever, they are among the smartest of the avian species. While some seem to detest these birds and think they are mean, many more love them. I have met so many crow admirers who share stories about these special birds with me, sometimes at art shows, or because of the book I wrote, "Caw of the Wild." I like to imagine this one is looking skyward watching for hawks in attempt to keep his family safe from their surprise attack. Crows often bravely harass these bigger birds and escort them out of the area. This painting includes a white mat to fit a standard 5x7 frame.
