3 Crows in a Tree is a piece that has evolved from past work with Ravens. The first Raven sculpture I built was in 2006. The birds have historically struck a cord with clients and make a lasting impression and I predict that I will continue to make new designs with the birds.
This particular tree design came about when I was working on a custom perch for a client who wanted 3 birds together on a roost. I really liked the shape and whimsy the tree added, but he preferred a clean simple line. I took this to the Baltimore ACC show in 2011 and it was met with great enthusiasm.
The tree is inspired by the branch I used in Olive Branch and it has a line from one of my favorite children's books on it, The Giving Tree by Sheldon Silverstein.
