Crows often drop by for a drink in our backyard and I love to see them. They're such stunning-looking creatures. Even if they kind of dwarf the birdbath, they still manage to look so majestic.

  2. A particularly lovely painting, Helene. I like your choice of muted colors, and wonderful composition and values. I agree with Kaethe Bealer and I think it also helps to call our attention to the center of interest.
