More Chicken and Cranes

     As things often do, the Chicken Whistle and Cranes have taken on a life of their own. As the series has developed, it has come to represent much more than a mother hen and her cranes. In some ways, it seems to make no sense at all. But, in a very 2019 way, nonsense speaks the truth, when you look a little more deeply. No, that's nonsense! The messages may be a little more clear when viewed in order and right now that is only possible on Facebook. Go to Writer/Artist, Nancy Leasman and scroll down. And be sure to "Like" the page.
   

Chicken and Cranes

     Among my collection of chickens is a sweet little water whistle. Son # 1 and his wife brought it back from their travels. It found a home on the ledge overlooking the kitchen sink.
     Daughter # 3 has had a long time fascination with making paper cranes. Seven of them joined the water whistle chicken. To me, this little vignette represents my kids and if you take it a little further, I suppose I'm the mother hen.
     The chicken and cranes are featured in this week's work. There are currently five in the Chicken and Cranes series though that count may go up to six or seven today.
