These are older paintings I have done that have already migrated to new homes but in thinking of the changing weather and seasons I thought I would post a few. Last day of August! Enjoy the long weekend.

These are wonderful paintings. Crows have always fascinated me.
Thank you Simon. Me too, crows are so interesting!
( Glad, I can put a comment straight here )
Now I found the dark chasm of your psyche. —— been wondering when I was just
seeing your photos. The second crow image is very powerful.
When I was in my junior school, I was assigned to take care of a lost chick of small
crow which somebody has found. (because I was well known to nurture insects and
butterfly, and make a observation diary with drawings). On the beginning, I had to
feed the chick by open and hold his (her ?) beak and pour the mashed mixture of
birds feed, worm, insects larvae (rather squeamish practice 😀 ) into the throat.
He grown up well and soon covered with beautiful black feathers.
—— after 6 months we let him go and he went back to his kind of own life though,
often came back and spend a time in the school ground. School kids were very good friends of him. —– (He seemed to have learned some words, name and “come”, “here”, “there” or the meaning of its associated gestures)
Crows are a very fascinating birds, together with their rather intimidating guise 😀
I’m glad to find, you are a good friend of them 🙂
That must of been amazing to nurture a little crow. they are incredible creatures, I agree!
Thank you Yoshizen 🙂

Thanks, Jaydee.
I can’t seem to get to your site…
Wonderful Karen… I’m only just seeing these.. particularly like the top 2 either would look very good on my wall 😉
Helen, thank you. That is kind of you. 🙂
Starting over. Want to know more.
… trying to think of how to express how I feel about these paintings… all I can come up with is I LOVE them! Everything about them, the expressiveness, colour, line, composition, and character. Awesome. I aspire to paint like this. Great stuff.
Beautiful! The last one let me smile 🙂

The crow is a spirit animal associated with life mysteries and magic. The power of this bird as totem and spirit guide is provide insight and means of supporting intentions. Sign of luck, it is also associated with the archetype of the trickster; be aware of deceiving appearances. If the crow has chosen you as your spirit or totem animal, it supports you in developing the power of sight, transformation, and connection with life’s magic.
Thanks for sharing your refined art. Congrats Karen!
Love all of these. The last painting really struck me as true because the giant ravens around here rule the land. They are so fun to watch when they are at play in the snow.
Hi Sandra, thank you very much! Ravens and crows are awfully clever – I adore them!
