Do you have an idea for a painting? Let me know.
Let’s talk about it.
We will discuss different options.
When we agree on a direction, the adventure begins.
Step 1. We discuss what you have in mind. I need to know as much as I can about the image you hold in your imagination.
Step 2. We decide on a schedule, size and price that is agreeable to both of us.
Step 3. I cook on your ideas in the studio and get back to you with my plan to make sure it is on the right track.
Step 4. The painting begins.
Step 5. You and I review it together. By email if that is the most convenient.
Step 6. Painting is finalized and you receive it with access to a video that shows the painting process. Voila!

“Sterling, I have a question for you.”

“What is it, Felix?”

“Have you been looking in the studio window lately?

“No, I haven’t.”

“Well she captured you. Come see. You are too big to fit on the canvas. Haha. She’s got that right.”

“What in feathers are you talking about?”

“She painted your portrait, old bird. It’s you. She even caught the shimmers in your feathers.”

“Wow, that is me. That is a handsome bird. She caught my oratorical qualities. I like it. Felix, go caw the others. I want them to see what a real bird looks like.”

Ravens strut and fret their discussions on the snow.
Feathers burst over conflicts of interest.
Others stomp and fly away in disgust.

Corvid Chattering

“Sterling, I have a question for you.”

“What is it, Felix?”

“Point your beak over there. Look. In that window. What’s going on?”

“Felix, you won’t understand. She’s an artist. She’s painting on sticks. They call it an easel. She holds a stick, they call a brush. There is a little bit of fur on the end if you look closely. She drags colors around with it.”

“What? I like those bright shiny colors, but why every day?”

“Felix, why do you fly?”

“I’ve got feathers. That’s why. Open up my wings. Catch a thermal. Let the wind take me places. High places. Everything blurs into colors of light. Freedom. It’s who I am. It makes me feel alive.”

“Exactly.”

“What? Oh. Hmmmm. She has colors, brushes. Makes her feel alive. It gives her freedom.”

“You’re beginning to understand.”

“Sterling, look on the wall. It’s Herald! The artist captured Herald! He’s stuck on the wall. This is awful. I’m going in…”

“Felix, stop, you feather-duster! That’s a painting of Herald. It’s not really him. Back off Buddy. There is a lot you don’t understand.”
