Painting completed in: 2003

This is a painting I've intended to paint for over 30 years and for some reason I've procrastinated. in 1973 when I worked across the street from the State Capitol, I photographed this Great Tailed Grackle all dressed in his power suit, puffed up and promising who knows what and I immediately thought he was a natural born Politician.He Sounds pretty good but you probably can't belive anything he says and besides that he's sitting on the fence! This year while researching my files I stumbled on to my photograph and got over my procrastination!
