Crow Original Acrylic Painting-Understated
$98.00
This crow was a solution to the problem of trying to emphasize pattern and understate the color. I used glazes of color over the collage elements to keep the colors soft. The patterns purposely flatten the images and become more decorative than textural. I am fascinated by crows and have a very large crow roost in my hometown. The painting was done on a drawn ground and built up in layers of value and pattern. I enjoy finding the character of the bird and the color that hides in the jet black feathers. This is all created on paper mounted to an 8" square cradled board. The work comes varnished for UV protection. The sides are painted and it comes ready to hang, but would also look stunning in a floating frame. The artwork can also be hung as a series of 3 or more to create a visual impact in your home.
