The Raven...pastel painting

'The Raven' 5x7 pastel

It's been awhile since I painted a raven...one of my favorite birds. I had a special request for this one and today was a perfect day to paint him. I got together with Jayne to paint in her studio. I love her new lighting. I am going to have to look into getting the same light fixtures for my studio. I had a productive afternoon painting this raven and a 6x6 cactus flower which we decided actually makes a nice companion to the raven. Thanks Jayne for a nice afternoon!
