I usually don't post twice in one day, but I've been so excited about finishing this woodcut and showing it off: Ladies and Gentlemen----my latest woodcut: CARDINALS!!!!
It's a 6x12 woodcut on 8x15" paper--and there are only 18 in this edition. If you'd like to add one of these to your art collection (and support my work) I am taking orders on my website starting now.
Wishing a Happy Halloween to those who celebrate!

"Winter Song" is my new #painting about those bright winter days of lemon and pink skies, when the air is clear and cold, and the #birdsong rings louder than ever.
As well as the little robin belting out his sweet song, I've included other winter birds: fieldfare, waxwing, redwing, and (my favourites) starlings.
Thanks for looking. ๐

Today we drove to Bellevue, MI to witness the annual fall migration of thousands of Sandhill Cranes. Turn on your sound to listen to their calls, which can be heard up to 2.5 miles away.
These magnificent #birds nearly disappeared a century ago due to overhunting, but populations rebounded & are now stable in MI.
Sandhill Cranes are among the oldest living birds on Earth with a wingspan of up to 6 ft. Aldo Leopold described them as "nobility, won in the march of eons."
