Congratulations on being in the top winners spots of our recent contest sponsored by the Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery. Your submissions were excellent and surely qualified for top wins. When your works are voted on by your peers, it is quite an honor to be recognized by fellow artists who admire your art works. Thanks for entering this fun contest, and your winning pieces are displayed on our homepage. This is a special feature which I have only done once before this, but I feel this one of your beauties should have taken first place.

Artist's Description

I chose to illustrate the springtime nesting activity of the Sandhill cranes in this new watercolor painting. It would be a wonderful companion print with "The Blessed Event - Sandhill Cranes" which illustrates a new hatchling along with the second one just breaking out of its' shell.
Sandhill cranes are a common sight in the central Wisconsin region, especially near marshy areas with tall grasses and cattails where their nests are well hidden. They are migratory birds that generally come to this area from southern regions such as Mexico and the Gulf coast.
