I love this time of year when the evening sky is filled with Sandhill Cranes. I love their song. I love when they all congregate at their roosting site. The sound is unforgettable. Combine that with the cool crisp air of Fall and you have the makings of some beautiful memories.

It’s always a joy to come up with a Crane print for the Sandhill Crane and Art Festival near Marshall, MI. Last year’s Crane print sold out quickly. I think these will too, especially since there are only 4 of them. I have not come up with a title for this yet. Stay tuned for that. But I can tell you it is a 4×6″ linocut reduction on Japanese paper.

Last year I participated in the Sandhill Crane and Art Festival near Marshal, MI. It was a last minute decision. They graciously accepted me and I had a great time. BUT…I did not have one piece of art that depicted a Sandhill Crane…..a lot of other birds but no Sandhills. So this year I made it a priority to have at least one block print depicting them. This reduction linocut will be for sale at this years event on October 13th and 14th. I hope to see you there.
