The tradition of divining future events from the number of crows seen at one time dates back to the 1600's, although at that time, the rhyme referred to magpies. There are a number of different versions, all of which I may decide to paint at some point, but this is it for now. The box is hand made of wood, and I've sculpted the bird on top from paperclay. It's listed now on eBay. :)

I just wanna cry!!! I LOVE this piece. I'm getting tired of the cricket sounds when my auctions post...sigh. I so want to bid on your little crows.
I love how you incorporate so much history into your art. It gives it meaning, in addition to the beautiful images your paint. Beautiful!
