Sandhill Cranes finished


I just love it when the Sandhill Cranes come each spring. They fly overhead making their distinctive strange call. Standing in the field, they are so large I've mistaken them at a glance for deer. When we see the cranes, we know the snow is on the way out and the trees will be budding soon.

Below are the black and white print before I painted it, and the carved block.
