Hey Theresa, my first visit to "our" blog. I immediately was drawn to your painting and I'm trying to think what appeals to me so much. It's clean and somewhat symbolic, folky. I like it a lot. ;)
Theresa, I love your clean crisp style. And that's the first grackle I've ever seen in a painting! We get flocks of them landing in our yard in Memphis during the winter. And my oh my, are they ever noisy. ;-)
Grackles are black/iridecent purple/blue, smaller than crows and don't have quite as rascally a reputation as crows. They make a very wierd call-- it's kind of like a squeaking hinge that needs oiling. Or maybe chalk on a blackboard but not as grating. Like crows they congregate in great flocks and we have lots of them in central Texas.

ReplyDeleteTheresa I really like how you've simplified your elements very nice. But where's the crow??? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy and Erika! I like abstracty watercolors, not very commercial but loads of fun to do!
ReplyDeleteBut...as for the crow...won't a grackle do? :^D
Theresa, I love this whimsical painting. I confess, I had to google grackle. I've never seen one!
