The mystery of the corvid...

Why is it this bird is so shrouded in mystery
why is this uber intelligent bird considered a nuisance...
I would let him adopt me in a heartbeat...
the rook...

Another painted box...

The Rook...

Well, I'm continuing to pursue my love of birds,
painting this baby crow was fun...

 Just the cutest lil' mug...lol...

 And of course...the egg...whew, eggs are time consuming...

And the 'Rook'...I do love painting this
regal bird...still honing my skills as a painter...
nothing too serious, just retired and following
my dream...art...

A slight transformation...

 This is the AFTER...

 BEFORE...I couldn't resist this funky desk,
the painted on flora, not so much...
it had issues, but really, not an issue...

 The interior of this piece is what sold me...
so cute, though rough, it's still a keeper,
it has great bones, solid maple...

and just enough rough edges to make it appealing...
did I mention I love my job...!

Projects...bird houses...

Nope, I'm not going to be making them,
I'm going to be painting them...
I love to paint bird houses and nests,
only this time it will be on paper
rather than furniture...
fun times ahead, if only warm weather would arrive,,,

A work in progress...finis...

 Nearly finished...omg, was this beak a bugger to paint...

 I continue to truck along...

 Finished...and finished...

 A secret stash box for whatever your Mojo be...

A friend gave me her stash of old silverware boxes,
which is exactly what I needed for these projects...
my corvid studies continue...I have always had problems
painting crows, which is why I purchased the
bird to study...'the rook' is a European bird,
his beak is huge and that's where my struggles lie,
I can't get their beaks right...
but I am determined!!!
