Raven with Garnet Colored Pencil on Colourfix Paper 2½ x 3½ inches SOLD The raven symbolizes mystery to me, a favorite subject of myth and folklore, I've always imagined them as highly intelligent birds, skillful seekers of treasure.
Garnets are more commonly recognized for their dark red or deep purple/red color, however - some garnets are green, some orange, black, brown, purple, yellow and even clear or transparent - for this drawing I chose to include more than just red in the raw crystal dangling from the ravens beak. I love glass ball fishing-net floats, the way they gleam in the sunlight, how the rope is tied around them - this was my inspiration for the net-like structure around the garnet and the means by which the raven is able to carry it.
