There's been a lot of discussion about writing on this message board---does anyone here paint or draw? I have always loved painting, and have recently become inspired to paint a series to hang on the walls of the house my boyfriend and I just bought.

Anyway, the one I'm working will include two cranes, or herons. My problem is that I cannot find any pictures of birds on the internet. I looked at Audobon Society sites, wildlife sites, and so on. No luck. I could go to the library, but I lent my card to (a reliable) someone and I won't be able to bring any books home.

This post has two purposes---to remark on how the web, despite having sooooo much information, can have gaping holes, and to ask if anyone knows of a good internet resource for artists that's not just an online catalog for supplies.
