Illustration Friday: Stay


The word over at Illustration Friday this week is stay. I had a few ideas that I tried but they weren't working for me. I have felt blocked lately, like many of my other creative friends. And then it dawned on me. I haven't been painting my beloved ravens for a long time. It's as if I had abandoned them without even noticing until painting wasn't making me happy any more.
I hope for my sake they're back to stay.
So here is today's alla prima painting, Raven Totem.

acrylic paint on canvas, 4" x 12'x 1 1/2" deep. Soon to be available on Etsy or perhaps YART

Illustration Friday: Lesson

Raven taught her lessons she could never learn from people.
Raven is her totem. Her spirit guide. Her connection to the natural world.
