ORIGINAL RAVEN PAINTING "HOLD THAT THOUGHT"

Hey Friends,  And here is my fifteenth Raven !  It's a long running series.  And he seems a bit rude or self absorbed like his message is more important than yours.  So I gave him the title "HOLD THAT THOUGHT"!

He is up for auction on Ebay-available HERE.

And the South Peak Paint out is this Saturday the 10th, from 9 until 6pm.  The DLP and I will be there in the afternoon, from >< 1pm to 6pm.

Hope you will put it on your to do list for Sat.  Should be interesting and fun.

 Hey Friends,  This piece started with the printed paper from my GranBabes piano practice book.

 Thought a few process shots might be fun.  The paper has been gelled to the thick canvas and starting with the blue acrylics.

 The stamp I carved myself and I added the vine  so it could be green.

 Here I have finished with the stamp and painted in the utility wire with the blackbirds resting.  I don't know if you can tell but I really like the finger prints I made all over the piece.  Kinda like certain brush strokes but made with the fingers.

And I have found quite a few feathers this year and I like them a lot so I use them every chance I get.  And here are the edges of the piece.  Did you notice how stained and worn my table is?  I like to put paint right on the table instead of the palette, especially when working with a tiny brush and very small strokes.   I shall put this in my Etsy Shop.
