Illustration Friday: Grounded


Whether soaring high, surveying the skies,
or grounded with feet firmly planted where he stands~
Raven is King of all the land.

For Illustration Friday: grounded
Acrylic paint and colored pencil on patterned paper, and a sticker for his crown. 
Pulled from my archives because I miss playing :)

  2. Mmmm This is so totally rich and elegant. I love the way he is perched on the blue disc...so delicate yet so very, very grounded indeed. He reminds me of you! ♥

  3. I love how grounded he is with his Crown. :)) Always love seeing your Art work. Thanks for visiting my blog. Annie is doing really good. She limps when she over does but she walks normal more often then she limps. Our Vet told us that would be her new normal, but it was ok. Shes really happy. Except when Fair is throwing ball for Anabelle, then she wants to go too, but we cant let her. Then she isnt to happy. :))
