I love going to look at the Crane Cam all year. Now, the cranes have not returned,but it is still beautiful to watch the changing light and weather conditions.  It is very cold this week all over the country. I took two pictures and used a cut out filter to make them look much flatter. I will do a series of paintings based on some of the pictures I have saved over several years. These cut out styles help the get the shapes correctly drawn.
