That raven still kills me. So brutal and beautiful. To me, it is the main character in the portrait ._. its presence seems to overtake the painting.
I'd love to see more ravens from you...

Your backgrounds are marvelously textured, and I like the funneling dress and the muted colours.

sorry for a quick comment. Impressive work as always!

How wonderful nikolai! It's been a long time since we had the plessure to see each others work. I'm impressed. The melancholic feel I get while viewing it, speaks of your skill.
