Crowbar's Farewell- Acrylic/mixed media; 12" x 18"- Greg Newbold
I did a series of paintings for a story written by Jean Craighead George called When Crowbar Came. Based on a true story of a crow who was befriended by the authors' family and the shenanigans that this very smart crow perpetrated during his time with them. I painted seven scenes for an educational reading anthology series and this piece was the finale. In the end, the crow decided he belonged with those of his kind. When all the crows scattered like leaves in the wind one fall, Crowbar went with them.
Stunning piece. Love the depth of color, the textures captured... the wind beneath wings carrying them onward.
