There’s something about crows
Obsessions, and now with crows. They have so much personality, even the ceramic ones that only appear to be moving. Drawing on them is so much fun. No two are alike. They’re a little larger that life-size, with steel bases. OK in most weather. I haven’t had a gallery since the econ crash of…
