"The Crow's Nest"
St. Nicholas illustrated magazine for young folk, October 1881
Text reads:
The crow flew east the crow flew west
Seeking a spot to build her nest
To east to west to south flew she
She flew to the top of the old pine tree
"Now here is the place for me"
Quoth she
"Right here in the top of this tree"
Woth Sticks and straws
Whatever she found
She built her nest
Both firm and round
"My nest within the old pine tree
A noble nest shall be"
Said she,
My nest in the top of the tree
The farmer looked to east to west
Seeking to find the old crows nest.
"The bird that eats my corn for me,
Shall have no nest in my tree"
Quoth he,
No nest in the top of my tree.
The little bous ran from all the town
To see the crows nest come down
The farmer climbed right well climbed he
Far up in the boughs of the tree
Climbed he quite to the top of the tree
The bpughs grew slimmer and more slim
The farmer-man was stout of limb.
Up he went and down came he
Quite down from the top of the tree.
Came he all at once from
The top of the tree
The little boys ran
To east to west
The crow flew screaming to her nest
The farmer rubbed his aching knee
"It may stat forever for all of me
That gruesome nest in the tree"
Quoth he
"That nest in the top of the tree."

“I don’t like it. Paint it red!”
I finished North! I feel pretty good about how he came out, I’m glad that he did look better once I really got into working on his beard.
I’ve sketched North before, this is the first time I’ve actually finished a fully colored painting of him. At some point I would love to do younger North from the books.

St. Nicholas Market, Bristol. March 2023
I kept shuffling around on my stool to keep out of the way of the cafe owners. Drawn to the smell of various foods.
