Crow Skull Study Original Painting

Crows are often seen as familiars, or death omens. They are the eyes of Odin, and they see all. I was inspired by psychopomps and the idea of crows being messengers of the dead, able to carry last sentiments back from beyond the veil.

This painting is a study painting for my Secrets from Beyond spirit board. I wanted to explore the colors and practice drawing the elements before committing to the final board drawing, so I painted studies for both of the large images on the board!

Painting is done on stonehenge paper in watercolor and gouache, and measures 8"w x 11"h

Comes with chipboard backing in a cellophane bag for protective purposes while shipping, with a certificate of authenticity.
