Curious Crow

Size: 42 x 29,7 cm

Materials: Pencil and coloured pencil on paper

This Crow is having a look at a coin like he’s wondering what that strange, hard, round thing is. Maybe he likes that it’s shiny. Maybe he’s wondering if he can eat it. Maybe he’s just curious. Nobody knows what goes on in the mind of a Crow.

This kind of Crow is the one we see most often here in Norway, the Hooded Crow. I see them almost every day where I live, and despite some people’s views of crows, I love them. They’re both smart and beautiful, and they’re not vicious unless you do something to harm them. They do a great job cleaning up, but they also hunt, something not everyone is aware of.

Are you curious about new things? Do you check them out or walk right by? If you need a reminder that curiosity is good, having this on your wall can provide that reminder for you.
