drawing challenge: crow

























This weeks drawing challenge is hosted by Carole and her theme is CROW. I actually like these animals, I think they're beautiful. In Norway they where not totally black, like over here. They had also lots of grey shades. To bad I couln't take a nice picture of one.
Anyway: my drawing for this theme is a bit like an image of a fairytale, or at least a dream of mine: that I'm so little that I could get on his back and fly around the world!

  1. Hi C.
    ha ha "Hi C". it's reminds me a drink such as orange juice :)
    Your artwork is wonderful!
    You know that here in my country
    do not exist the crows?
    maybe there is a bird-like but I do not know :(
    Thanks for your kind comment!
    Wish you a beautiful weekend
    (I liked to read that you cultivate your own vegetables, that's great)

  5. What a dream Celine! It looks like your crow friend is quite happy to have you hop on. He is waiting patiently for you and allowing the ladder to balance against its' body while you climb up. What a powerful drawing this is...both symbolically and graphically. This would look fabby as a print and framed. It would probably sell a million I bet. *smiles* Norma

  10. Hi Celine, a very very good drawing and for me crows have something very special and fairytale like thing about them, so flying on them seems very natural to me! Love it.

  11. Hi Celine! You have captured norwegian crows very vell. In Trondheim, where I live, we have both grey and black crows. You can find them only in three locations in Norway, the black ones I mean.We have a folk song in Norway about a man that shot a crow, and the crow was so big, he used the beak as a boat, its eyes as windows and so on. I think this is the kind of crow you met, ehh, made!
