The Raven

This is ‘The Raven,’ a painting I did in 2008. It’s acrylic on a 20X16 canvas. It depicts a raven resting on a branch under the night sky. In the background is another raven resting on a tree.

I’m fascinated by ravens because I see them as misunderstood outcasts. These are really cool creatures but they get a bad rap simply because people are scared of the way they look. They get all kinds of underserved negative attention, myths, folklore-even being called evil which they are not.
