Trickster


© Jennie Anderson

This is a painting I made as a gift for my father. I have inherited my dad's interest in Native American painting & sculpture, and have wanted to make an image of Raven, a Native American 'trickster' god, for a long time. I thought I'd try to combine a life-like image of the bird with a graphic representation of Raven, adapted from Native American drawings & sculptures I had seen. I really like how this piece turned out.

Thanks for your comment Jennie! I wish I could paint like this, I got so frustrated today I almost whipped my pallet across the room at Graham's head! I won't miss next time......

Ooh that's beautiful, Jennie - love it. By the way, how are Bod's plumes? Flaf's looking really strange at the moment - will post some pics!
