You know those big circular railroad crossing signs? I get them without any signage on them and make them into art.

Working with a circular substrate is fun but sometimes a little hard to get started on. I decided to use the curved edge in the design but kept the background paint marks straight.
I kept fighting the look of a black and white cookie and tried to hug the edge without just tracing it.

It took a long time to decide which direction is up on this one. Certain positions made it look like an ocean wave or moon, which I didn't want.

I titled it "Flock." You can guess why. Around this time I watched The Birds but I'm not sure if it was before or after...or if one had to do with the other. Abstract/non-living birds are better for indoors than the other, more annoying/loud/pooping kind.
