I think I shall have to get a copy of this. I cannot see how I can live without it, really, since it has both of my favorite things. He has an amazing style and I spent a rather long while looking at everything.
It made me think, Joan, of you and the water...how goes it? Inspired?

Ah. A haunting image. And yet one I love!
I dated a woman long ago that was a practicing Wicca. She chose her symbol or totem or whatever as a crow/raven. It was pretty hard to dismiss her faith as youthful exuberance. She had one tattooed on her back. She also had the pentagram there so I was freaked out.
To this day anytime I see a crow in the air I look up and say "Karyn, is that you".
She created a watercolor painting for me and it hangs in the kitchen. If you look very closely and know the history it is somewhat pornographic. To most it is a quaint painting. The quote from Khalil Gibran on it is still to this day true and unfulfilled:
"Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody."
I need that image.
For a very long time the raven, from the stories of Morrigan and Odin, has been a favorite icon. Add in the autumnal chill, my favorite time of year, and it becomes perfection.
You ought to post a picture of that painting. I'd like to see it!
Ah, yes, Autumn used to be my Mistress Muse. The water has called me back, however.
Visual art is such a private thing, needing copious amounts of private time and space. I hope to find it on the boat (no so much space as time) if it will ever quit raining and freezing.
That's a lovely thing, there, however. Why shouldn't you make it your own?
I am waiting, Joan, on those glorious spring days to come so that you can get to your avocation.
But when the chilly autumn night tosses the waves a bit I hope you'll think of me and sketch out a little something suitable...
@ LauraB- I will post it. Anything created by another hand for me I truly cherish.
