Lay Lady Lay

oil on canvas, 16" x 20"

This is my third bird painting with a Bob Dylan song title, and I have at least another one in mind to do.  This piece features a blue crane who has made a nest and laid her eggs in a hay field.  I love the elegant curves and lines of this exotic bird.  The blue crane is the national bird of South Africa and is in decline and now considered vulnerable to extinction.
