Sunday Stills-Wings

This was an interesting challenge for me, I got to thinking that there are lots of "things with wings"! Of course there are the usual birds, bugs etc., and there are airplanes, buildings, plow trucks and graders, angels, and yes, there are even wing-nuts! The world of art has long had a fascination with wings, and here in Creston there are many murals painted on the walls of the downtown buildings, so I am sharing with you -wings in art.

There are at least 5 winged creatures in this one, but I get a kick out of the artist doing a self portrait of himself painting the mural.

Of course, the realm of fantasy abounds with winged creatures, like this faerie painted on a bookstore downtown.

Still in the realm of fantasy, we have Pegasus, shown here on Beamer's splint boots.

There is a local house that has a number of stumps along the sidewalk, all of them beautifully carved;this one sports two owls.
But the most wonderful of all is the sheer artistry of flight itself, the stuff of dreams from the dawn of mankind; so here is to God's beautiful and unequaled creation; poetry in motion- a bird in flight.
