It has been a crazy winter.  I always take a break to recharge my batteries after art fair season but this year, my duties as President of the local Friendship Force and my ailing parents have taken most of my energy.  I find it very difficult to create when I am my mind is occupied but if I can get into my art there is also a release.   This week I finally tackled one of my best selling themes.  The photo of the Whooping Crane was taken at the International Crane Foundations.  We were fortunate to see them faeeding near the viewing area.  They are America's tallest bird.  At one time there were only 21 left but with effort their populations have been slowly coming back.  Even today they are still at risk.  I don't have a name for this piece yet.  Whooping Crane seems mundane.  Perhaps, Stillness?
