Snow, Water and Crows #1 - Day 28



Snow, Water & Crows #1
6x8in oil on canvas $130. SOLD

This is an abstract I have been looking 
forward to painting and the start of
a new series.

For a year I have photographed, 
painted and sketched this spot
5 days a week. 
through all of the seasons.
Situated in the heart of the city, it is
a drainage pond for a local factory.
It is surrounded by unattractive
buildings on one side - two roads 
and a parking lot.
I LOVE THE PLACE!
I have never seen another person
even give it a second look.
I proudly showed it to my good friend
when she came to visit. She understood
my fascination.
(hey, Lisa, can you believe I have actually
started on it?!!!  )

Just in case you cannot find the crows...
look carefully and you will see three small
dark spots (middle-ish left) and they 
are the crows. As I said...an abstract.

The factory is a pecan processing
plant and the crows flock there for 
their pecan fix!
