Hi, my name is Gail Vail - and (smile), yes, it rhymes.
I love to paint, particularly color and texture. As a result, painting animals and birds (among a plethora of other things) gives me pleasure. Fur and feathers are fun!
This is a Sandhill Crane. I spotted him in Florida and just had to take his picture. They are fascinating birds, standing at 4-5' tall. They perform an amazing dance when they are nervous or excited (or when mating). The gray/brown of their feathers is partially a result of of the mud used to groom themselves. These cranes can be spotted in various parts of the country, many of them migrating at different times of the year. Look under "Animals/Figurative" for two more crane paintings.
