Sandhill Crane Art
Third Place for "Ancient Traveler"

I'm honored that "Ancient Traveler", my scratchboard drawing of a Sandhill Crane, received a third place in the Fine Art, Crane division of the art show at the 17th annual Lodi Sandhill Crane Festival. I've wanted to enter something in the show for a number of years and finally found time and had just the right reference photo this year. I plan to enter a couple of drawings next year. The original is back here at home and will be on display during the open studio this weekend. After that, I plan to hang it at the Auburn Old Town Gallery.

Scratchboard Workshop
