IF : Clandestine


Raven always met her behind the glowing wall covered in vines.

Apparantly this place was special to others as well.



Scrapbook paper, image from computer painted over and collaged, paint and colored pencil.

    I sure do love your ravens! This one is very intriguing and very beautiful. It's so clever how you use different papers to incorporate into your art.

    Speaking of ravens, I do believe a raven is what I choose for my prize! I'll email you about it. Thanks so much, again for that!

    "the glowing wall covered in vines"

    oh lolo, this is wonderful. it is such a treat for me to see what you create every week. i've always loved the idea of doors and doorways and what's seen and unseen.

    caaaw caaaw...
    a sparkly work... love it!

    doors always open to a secret... what is behind the door if i open it?
    the half-opened door... the other crow on the branch... the bare branches... the colors...
    wow the mood is talking of a door opening in our awareness... this work is very archetypal... touches our collective consciousness...
    namaste!

    Stunning! Wonderful colors and contrasts!

    Raven could almost have come from one of those leaves from the grapevine :-)

    Perfect take on this. You truly captured the essence of the prompt. I felt as though I was the one secretly meeting.

    It's been another splendid year of sharing art, joy, thoughts and good wishes. I look to more in '09.

    Have an enriching and hopeful New Year, my friend!!
