Love that drawing of the crane. He is so beautiful. Thanks for the complement. I love the frozen pond scene too. I'm ready for the snow. I think this might be round 4 or 5. I'm losing track. Carol
Hi Kelly, you have more talent in your little finger than I have in my whole body. I have a soft spot for Sandhill Cranes. Your painting is gorgeous and the image of him is pure perfection.
Lovely painting, and a lovely observation about those cranes—I live in a area where hundreds of Sandhill Cranes winter, and I've never noticed the heart shape of their head markings. Thanks for showing this off to such a great effect!
Kelly my first time here and what a treat for a nature lover! Your paintings your photography..you are certainly gifted! I feel I can reach out and pet these images! Certainly shall be back again! delighted to come upon your blog!
Sandhill cranes are some of the largest birds in North America and have a wingspan of six to eight feet across, allowing them to fly and soar up to 100 miles in a single day in their quest for food. Huge V-shaped flights of sandhill cranes plying the skies provide a thrilling sight for wildlife viewers. When standing on the ground, adult sandhills can reach six feet tall.
He is a perfect Valentine's bird. Your painting is absolutely lovely. I'm waiting for the Cranes to come north again, but a few more months to wait.Cruise
