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
Great is the day when the cranes dance and show off, and on November 15, 2013 on a very special morning the whooping crane number 10-10 visiting our area with the sandhill cranes was looking on the sandhill in his special dance pose so I painted this painting to celebrate all life and dancing calling this painting ” Among Friends ” and hope you enjoy a great deal.

Such a joyful day, yesterday I was witness to a wonderful female whooping crane number 10-10 from the Whooping Crane Center in Baraboo, WI she was born in 2010 and was migrating, near Crex Meadows where the Greater Sandhill Cranes are preparing for their migration in fact a week ago during a 5″ snow most of the sandhill cranes left, and depending on the weather toward Thanksgiving the rest will leave too. They are feeding and eating close to the Trade River where the water is open and not froze.
Here is the good news, praise God, ” The Ten Commandments were given so that all could see the extent of their failure to obey God’s Laws. But the more we see our sinfulness, the more we see God’s abounding grace forgiving us. Before, sin ruled over all men and brought them to death, but now God’s kindness rules instead, giving us right standing with God resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
I did not get a wonderful flying image of the whooping crane because my Nikon camera, the auto focus on my 80-400mm lens did not work, but before that happened I did get a wonderful image of her standing amongst the sandhill cranes and for that I am very grateful for.
This special watercolor, called, ” mom and dad’s love forever “was painted in honor of my loving parents Jackie and Norman who I honor all the days of my life and thank God for his loving kindness throughout my entire life, starting first with home and the love that has no judgment, but only kindness.
w peace and love, always and forever,
