It's early morning on a promising summerday,
i'm sitting in the kitchen with my grandson (one year and a half now),
his mum having a good sleep.
He has a good appetite in the morning, i have not, but eating
together is so nice.
He puts his little forefinger to his ear when he hears an unusual or unknown sound.
Yes, i say, een vogel (a bird), een kraai (a crow), kraa-kraa-kraa,
he imitates the sound too and we both laugh.
I do love crows.
Above; old sketchbook page and a detail of an unfinished gouache i'm working on at
the moment, tittled 'summerdress' but (lucky me) there's also a crow involved.
So dear Carole, as crows are dear to me, i could not but participate.
Please have a look at lovely Carole's interesting blog for more crows.
good weekend to you all

Wow, I would say you're the early bird äh crow this weekend with the drawing challenge! I like especially your sketchbook page it has this spontenaously appeal and your story about your grandson (wow also).

Renilde, I share your love for the crow. You have captured their wise, almost smirky, look in your sketch. The crow in your painting looks like it might be up to no good!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to share breakfast with your grandson! xo Carole
hey renilde, what a beautiful shed!
ReplyDeletei smile at the crow's cry you wrote down, the bird certainly didn't steal its name, it deserves it so much (in flemish, of course).
and of course! the kra-kra of the grandson... perfect picture...!

How delightful it is for me to read of you and your grandson laughing together at the breakfast table. It's pure heaven. You are both lucky and will count this as a precious moment in the memory bank.
ReplyDelete'summerdress' looks enchanting and interesting. I look forward to seeing more of it in future. Happy summer time Renilde! *smiles* Norma, xo
Oh,
ReplyDeleteI'm very touched by your breakfast with your grandson,
dear Renilde.
And your crows on your sketchbook... kraa! wonderful. Even the endless thread... its a kind of sign for knowing through the ages.
The flying crow of your painting looks very majestic...
Have a nice weekend
Love
Ariane.
I love this simple composition! Sheep and crows, two simple country pleasures.
