Original artwork description:

If you enjoy the solitude of being outdoors then read on! I was doing just this, and trying to capture the last warmth of the late afternoon sun after a winter walk… when a blue jay decided to park behind me and remind me of his presence. I liked the idea for a painting. A vision quest so to speak so the narrative became a private glimpse into the spiritual pursuit of seeking enlightenment through a connection with Nature. Its in the context of a Native American and his relationship to the Raven. Framed in a floating style custom black cherry frame with turquoise inset on the sides.

Materials used:

Winsor Newton oils on gesso board
