I originally made this piece for a group show at the Harrison Center last spring. It has since inspired a new body of work tentatively called  Natural Paths featuring bees, birds, and other wild life, and the paths they take (still in progress).

Graphite and digital coloring.

Some instinct had me put the owl hibernating underground.  I’m not really sure why. Later a friend asked me if I was aware that ancient people didn’t know about migration, and assumed birds spent the winter underground. I didn’t know this, but I find it fascinating. I plan to make a body of work exploring this soon.

Acrylic gouache.

A group of bears is called a Sleuth. These bears are solving a mystery. Can you make up a story about what might have happened?

A group of crows is called a Murder. Sounds pretty freaky to me. These crow cops are investigating the scene, however I think they are more interested in the donuts.
