"Where are the children?"

Two crows discuss the change in nest contents.  Repainted oil on canvas 12" x 16" originally posted here.  For better or worse, I'm adding birds to a lot of older paintings. 

Crows in Death Valley

Most recent oil on canvas (20"x16") painted in Chester Arnold's class at the College of Marin.  I combined a photo of Death Valley taken on a camping trip in 1982 with a recent photo of a great looking green truck in my neighborhood.  Then I added some crows from the book "The American Crow and the Common Raven" by Lawrence Kilham and a sky from a painting by the phenomenal Caspar David Friedrich.

Contained Crows

These crows are all contained in boxes for illustration friday's word "contained."
