"A wary crow is 'on the alert' as it cautiously searches for food on the soft golden sand at the edge of the sea."
Artist comment: "This is a multi-media rendering with pastel over gouache. I have long been fascinated by these clever corvids and have painted numerous versions of the 'common' crow. Here I chose to paint a non-objective background loosely resembling a beach and sky. This was a carefully chosen ploy to emphasize the 'blackness' of the bird. The crow is always 'on the alert' for food as well as to avoid any enemies."
