She Has Her Charms (SOLD)


I took some pictures of crows on the beach last year and recently came across them while searching for some collage ideas. I decided to try doing the piece similarly to the Pearl piece with collage and oil painting certain parts. It's spring here in Portland and I have a beautiful cherry tree to see out my studio window which inspired me to incorporate the blossoms and branch as the collaged element. I found a little blurb in a magazine which said "she's not the chicest, but she has her charms," which is hard to see in the photo, but I but the words near his beak, thus the title.

Mariko,

Congratulations on your new baby daughter! What a lovely name and thanks for the nice commenton my collage. No, the piece isn't in a gallery yet. I have to varnish and frame it first.
