Raven and Crane- part 2


As Raven spread his inky wings to fly, darkness spilled out from beneath them, filling the emptiness with all the pieces of the mysterious Night.  The beautiful Moon sailed through the sky, and the darkness was dotted with countless swirling stars.  The Moon's glowing face spun slowly out of hiding until her full roundness was revealed, and then back again.

See part 1 here.

  1. You have captured the art and poetry of Native Americans ..... I would like to think that some of your inspiration comes from Shabo Mekaw and the Shawnee.

  6. Magical and mystical. I love the tattered edges of his wings; the play of dark and light; the layered depth to the image.
