New Crow from Salvaged Stuff

[blackmare]

She Followed Me Home is based on a crow that did exactly that, a couple years ago, and got me started using crows in my art.

12.5" h x 18" w, oil paint and wax medium on salvaged wood and metal. Going into an art show tomorrow.

That's lovely! (as is your icon, another painting of yours?)

[blackmare]

Thanks! Yep, the icon is a detail shot of the first Crow piece. If I can find the full photo I'll add it to this post.

Aaaannnd I found the photo I wanted. The first of my Crow Series, the title is Corvid and it's about 13" high x 7" wide. Also made entirely of salvaged discarded materials, with some oil paint.

Wow, that's gorgeous! :D

Thanks! It's at a friend's house right now and I probably ought to put it in the show tomorrow. Hm.

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

[blackmare]

Thanks for dropping by. I'm hoping this comm will come back to life now that the holidays are over with.

Oh, those are gorgeous. The first one especially I keep scrolling back up to stare at.

It's especially cool that these are done on salvaged materials. Beautiful art created from things the world didn't want.

[blackmare]

Thanks! I love that aspect of it, finding character and usefulness in things that, as you say, the world didn't want.

They're both gorgeous. I especially love the colour palette of the first one, and the detailing of the second. Hope you had a great time at your art show.
