Description
Large piece (22x30) executed in mixed media (acrylic, watercolor, india ink, gouache, charcoal) on 140lb hot press Fabriano Artistico. Roughly based on the concept of Odin's ravens, there is some vine like figures on the branches reminiscent of Nordic decorations.I sold the original: a bargain at $375... and have to admit that I miss it.

Very cool. Too bad original is sold... I just may have wanted it for myself.

I do miss it....
But there will be other times, and other paintings. Perhaps I'll outdo myself in a year. Or at least, I hope???
I'm sorry, that sounded rather pompous, didn't it?
And thank you!

I'd wanted more for it, though I wasn't certain it would go for much more. Tough times, and all... *sighs*
At least this scan is very decent! (And large)

You're very welcome of course! Even if I'm so very late I've been meaning to take a look at your gallery, but I keep putting it off. Sorries

This is absolutely stunning! I like how the black raven fades to white and kind of 'blends in' with the other bird. Awesome job!

Oh did you!?
Too much attention, I am thinking... I'd forgotten what this was like.
Oh! And thank you!

Congrats!
It's a truly deserved DD!
I'm delighted by the details, it became absolutely realistic. Furthermore, I like its colors a lot - not too much, not really vivid but it gives the impression of cold and winter... Nice work btw, very well done.

Why, thanks very much!
I tend to enjoy working in muted colors more than the vivid ones.
