November ‘Winter Migration’

'Winter Migration'

 

In central Texas the first sign of winter is not  dropping temperatures, but the arrival of the birds. It’s not as creepy as Hitchcock might lead you to think, but it’s really very strange and beautiful to see a huge mass of migratory birds in an urban setting.  I wanted this soft-ground etching to be simple and slightly whimsical, but also carry the feeling of the starkness of winter.
