R53 Swing with Raven
36 x 24" oil on panel
private collection
An in-between, fun picture, meant to indulge the temperamental artist. I had been casting a very critical eye on my recent crowded compositions and gaudy colours. I decided to paint a real tree with a real raven, and of course the picture is nothing of the sort.
Experimenting, I wanted to try the permanent marker lines again. I had originally used it in 'Nuclear Picnic', R13, and liked the way the marker faded to purplish black. It is interesting working with the heavy, irregular outline.
