This is a recent original oil painting of whooping crane 10-10 and her sandhill crane friends near the Trade River, called, ” Early Morning Sunshine On Trade River ” a 9″ x 12″ x 1/8″ on Masonite hard board, finished in a custom frame. I am doing a new body of whooping crane paintings for this year’s Whooping Crane Festival on  Saturday, September 13, 2014 located in Princeton, WI next to the public school. I have painted 3 original oil paintings and gifted to Operation Migration and they are going to auction these painting during the Festival, and the money will help with the costs to fly the ultra-light aircraft to St Marks, FL with this year’s Class of 2014 whooping crane juvenile birds starting about mid October.

If you can attend this year’s program and make contributions to help, this would be wonderful and help them a great deal. If you go on Operation Migration on their Face Book page you can read more about this year’s Festival, and soon they will start to list the auction items that you might enjoy bidding on. Have a great day and help to save a whooping crane, Jimmie Springett wildlife painter
