It’s art but it’s not painting....but it would do us no harm to make an exception once in a while!

Is it art? Billy has a two foot wingspan and is about the same, beak to tail. I made him out of rusty barbed wire, a pair of old rusty tin snips and lots of cut and shaped metal strapping. Held together by welds, rivets and a prayer. The attached copper pipe fits over the spike which enables Billy to swing round with the wind. Mounted on top of a 10 foot obelisk. I leave making this kind of thing until the summer months , too cold working with metal in the winter, I might lose a finger....or two! Lol
