While working on a far larger painting, one that’s taking much longer, I decided to do a smaller painting. I had to wait for the larger one to dry anyway, so slipping in a small one was something I could work out.
I’ve been thinking of doing continual, small paintings of different ideas that I’ve had. For one, I might be able to put them up for sale, giving folks the opportunity to own a less expensive original painting (ignoring the inexpensive prints I sell, of course). Also, I get the chance to do smaller, one-off kind of ideas that might not really need a large painting to get across.
This is one of those, a fairly abstract look up at a raven. It’s acrylic, 8″ x 10″ on canvas panel. I thought a bright palette would be fun, and toying with textured effects was fun as well.
I call it, “Ravenesque”, and if you’re interested I’ll be putting it up for sale in my new Etsy online store as well.
I also have a few closeups of it, to see any details you might be wondering about.
