Acrylic on Canvas 5x7
To make a painting I am happy with always involves taking chances. Sometimes that leads to a disaster and I end up painting over the whole thing when my idea falls apart. I am always glad though when things begin to go wrong. It means I will stop being so careful with the marks I make, and that is when magic can happen. That is when an animal or bird can come alive and shake off a stiff, stifled look. I could have painted this raven's every feather, but it was so much more fun to let him evolve without overthinking the process.
