Ravens are quite magical, Annie. Ted Andrews (Animal Speak) says they are quite magical and represent "light in the dark...Raven teaches us how to shapeshift our lives." So cool you saw them!
Ooo wonderful! Thanks Annie. I like all corvids. I'm catching up with you finally. Would you believe your word verification is "Wales" LOL where I've just come from. :-)
I hope the total rest is working for your neck and shoulders.
I am a painter living in the beautiful moutain town of Taos New Mexico.
Artist Statement:
I have been painting since I was eight years old when I declared to my mother that I wanted to be an artist. She promptly went out and bought me an oil set. Perhaps not the wisest choice for a child, but it got me started. I have been painting ever since and my way of working and what I paint has changed dramatically over the years. At this point in time I am working with mixed media on board and canvas. Nearly every image starts with a dream, either waking or sleeping. Other subjects that inform my work are literature and nature. Each painting is for me an adventure in color and texture,an exploration of joy and a way for me to get to know myself better. There is always a personal narrative and some hidden message that I am unaware of until it reveals itself in the finished piece. My paintings are about whatever is going on in my life at the time I am painting. My intention when I do a painting is to be true to my authentic voice and perhaps to open someone's heart and mind to all the possibilities around them.

I love ravens, too, and this is a wonderful pose. When I lived in Virginia I used to see them when they came down from the mountains in the fall.
