Taos Ravens 1

I just love these big ole Ravens. They are gorgeous to me and when they squawk their throat feathers ruffle all up giving them such texture. The sooty carbon black does show some beautiful colors in the wings if you look close.
The mountains are full of these guys and I couldn't get enough....
This is just a quick ink brush drawing done while they were fighting on top of a dumpster. I swear some of guys were the size of an old buick! ahahaha.
Enjoy if you like quick brush sketches. Do some sketching and get some healing going. God bless

  1. Here in the midwest, people don't like crows - but I do. They are so loud and smart and just plain interesting to watch. I like the ravens in the northwest, too, and wish we had some here :) Good sketch but that rhododendron was delicious!!! Glad you are back and are feeling strong and healthy...I have just returned from a short trip, too, so am catching up with some fave blogs.
