The drawing challenge this week was proposed by my friend,
Carole Reid, a fabulous artist and fellow north-westerner. Our respective homes lie along the same body of water, the 'inside passage' which runs from Seattle, Washington through islands up along the coasts of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska. In our part of the world Crows are abundant, along with their larger, more poetic cousins the Ravens, and Bald Eagles, who take themselves very seriously.
True to their pesky nature, Crows got into my studio as well as my sketchbook this week.
