I had some half-paintings sitting around so I finished them by adding crow silhouettes. These are made with oil paint and oil stick. Each comes framed in black.

I’m getting ready for my winter sale so must clean out unnecessary clutter from the studio. I have a stack of paintings I just can’t look at anymore, they will get a similar treatment.

This series of crows use the same transparent oil point technique I’ve been using all year, with a little sgraffito added.

The clay surface provides enough scratching surface to add thin whimsical lines to the bold and wide brush strokes.

I’ve been painting crows this year but I want to study ravens, which are larger. This one is first in a series.
