They’re cocky, intelligent and very ostentatious. Crows have a following. People seem drawn to them both curious and amazed. When one visits the west coast of Vancouver Island, a must stop are the beaches. And when you step out onto the beach you expect certain birds. Inevitably, you expect to see eagles, oyster catchers, sand pipers, gulls and hopefully the odd osprey. One doesn’t necessarily think crows when considering west coast beach fauna.
The reality is, these birds hold court on west coast beaches. They boldly share meals with every other bird or mammal on the beach. I’ve even seen a single crow chase off a bald eagle in flight quickly and easily. The eagle seems no match for the tenacity and determination of a dive-bombing crow.
So, is it any wonder that as I walked Cox Bay with my wife Joy one day, the lone crow strutting his stuff on the beach caught my eye? That’s all there is to this simple painting. The confident, intelligent personality of that crow just had to be painted.
In his own environment, confident in his domain, he’s simply “STRUTTING HIS STUFF”
Pricing
My images predominantly sell as limited edition prints (either serigraph or giclée). As such, there is a wide range of pricing, too wide to list within this website. I’ll explain.
My original paintings, those that are still available for sale, range in price from $4,000.00 and up. In most cases though I have limited edition prints available of my images. Needless to say, they are far less expensive than the original paintings. If you are interested in a particular original painting, please contact me at your earliest convenience at info@edhillart.com
If it’s a limited edition print you’re interested in, let me explain. Because of modern day technologies, the image you are interested in can be giclée printed on either paper or canvas. The canvas images can be rolled up and shipped in a simple tube, or they can be stretched on a frame and shipped that way. So too, these images can be reproduced custom made to your wishes. In other words I can create a print in the size you desire, either to fill a small space, or to fill an entire wall. I’ve included below a photograph of a client’s dining room with two of my prints reproduced in a larger format.
You will see that some of my pieces shown on this web site, those lithograph reproductions and art cards, do have fixed prices. The rest of my images, however, can be priced only when I know specifically what you, the client, want. As such, if you are interested in a particular image, please contact me, Ed Hill, directly at info@edhillart.com
Once your order has been determined, you’ll be able to make payment through PayPal provided herein.
