While I was in Williamstown earlier this week, a crow flew overhead and right into the tree in front of me. I raced over and snapped up a few shots. He looked so sinister and judgmental from up there.
There are so many layers on this piece, I’m not even sure what I used now. Five separate textures from www.deviantart.com – free use stock: Sirius_sdz, firesign24_7, leeroi1 and euphoric desire.

Loads of tweaking and adjusting of colours and hues brought me to this ominous mood.

Angie, thank you so much! I kept adding layer after layer to this one, and it evolved in front of me, and now I have no idea how it happened. So pleased you like it, I love that I have a trademark!! :)
