Thumb

Artist's Comments

This piece was inspired by a late summer trip through the dry grasslands of Southern Alberta, Canada. There's a lot of farming in the area, vast dry crops that stretch out to the horizon and goes on for hour upon sunbaked hour. It was at a turn-off to an emptier road than the one I was crunching along that I saw this scene. At first glance, it seemed like one creature with three heads, all battling each other for space to fix me with eyes barely glimpsed in the glare. As my eyes adjusted, I saw that it was really only three crows sharing a weathered, cracked stump at the edge of a neglected field.

Breathing in the hot, dusty air I gave a nod to the dark and midnight trio, and went my way.

Very cool. The crows look great and I like the twisting barbed wire. :)

Eve just wanted to know shit.
the background again very lively. like that! i just saw them the other day around here i think ;)
Hahaha When I saw the thumb of this pic, I thought it was a witch's silhouette and "Toil and Trouble" just made perfect sense. Then, looking at the full view, it still makes sense, but in a whole new way. (although now I can't see the witch anymore...odd) Very good work. Fav.

There is no way to measure an artist, or their work, because nothing matters, but their vision. Their acceptance by the rest of the world is merely external.
If you scuint (god ai suck at spelling) really hard, you can still see it.

The humbleness of a warior is not the humbleness of a beggar. The warrior lowers his head to no one, but at the same time, he doesn't permit anyone to lower his head to him.

I see parts of it, but the first time around that was all I could see. Now that I know where the birds are, I keep asking myself "what part of the witch was this and that?"

Very cool piece.

Seriously, when you have prints available (through DA or through your own machinations) please let me know.

Awesome work! I love how the background works with the overall composition and coloring - great job!
Very cool. Now whenever I see the thumb, I glimpse a witch as well. I imagine that subconsciously it must be the reason I gave it that title.
