Mango Bear: Chuck

July 12, 2017 by Raven

MB Chuck serves as a guardian for his Ravenista. She assigned him this duty shortly after arrival. His wall is a brilliant yellow that makes his colors shine inside a bright blue frame.
Curious about Mango Bears?

Mango Bear: Theo

July 12, 2017 by Raven

Theo is a Mango Bear. What are Mango Bears? They emerge out of my canvas when I am feeling playful. Theo ran out the door as soon as his paint dried. His Ravenista told me her whole family enjoys his antics.

Swim with a Bear

February 19, 2017 by Raven

My Ravenista wanted this polar bear to hang in their living room so she could still see it from her kitchen. We had fun choosing the perfect location for her bear. Paintings change your home and your home changes the painting. It always looks different than it does in the studio or in the gallery. It surprises me every time.

Swim With A Bear 
aka Bubbles $1200.
20″ x 20″
sold

Would you like this bear to swim into your home?
PRINTS of all sizes are available at this link. Just click right here.

Open the door of your imagination 
to explore a world of crystal clear crispness.

Soft, soft snow and crunchy footsteps on ice crystals 
beckon you to come closer.

Dive into waters of dreams
                               and swim with a bear.
No fear here, just bubbles of adventure
and floating on icebergs.

Take the plunge.

Crane Sashay

February 19, 2017 by Raven

I watch the sandhill crane stand on one leg,
her bill tucks into feathers to nap. She is a prehistoric yoga master.
But moments later there is a frenzy of feather fluffing.
Her twirl on broomstick legs surprises me.
She does the crane sashay.

Wings of Summer

February 19, 2017 by Raven

“Wings of Summer”
24″ x 18″  painting by Raven
$1100.

Sandhill Cranes ride wind currents to Alaska and find a cozy field to make a nest and raise their young. These powerful birds symbolize longevity, loyalty and fidelity. Their beautiful feathers swim through blue green waves of air currents on their magical journey.

They encourage me. Do they encourage you too?
Have you watched these magnificent prehistoric birds
with their feather finery?

When it’s cold and snowy outside,
imagine the warmth cranes will bring.

Summer and cranes. Cranes and summer.

Shipment arrives

“Sterling, look at that!” “Look at what, Felix?” “That huge box. From Canada.” “Looks like the artist received another shipment of Kroma paint. Watch, she’ll spend the rest of the day arranging it in her studio. All those tubes of paint go in some sort of order.” “Paint? What is that?” “Paint is color. She […]

Edges are important

“Sterling, What is the artist doing now?” “What do you mean, Felix?” “She spends lots of time brushing paint on the sides of her painting. The edges. You know what I mean?” “She makes changes on it when she changes the front of the painting. The sides appear to be important to her.” “But why?” […]

more about Raven

I ventured to Alaska before there was an oil pipeline and fell in love with the gnarly spruce trees, intense weather and mountains I could touch. Very different from the landscape in St. Louis. I was looking for different. The spruce trees: those scraggy, wizened, lanky conifers danced onto the first page of my sketch […]
