Candlelit Raven Wall Art

A raven perches on a marble bust, head bowed toward the stone face in the glow of one low candle. Thick palette-knife impasto carves every feather, cheek and pooled drip of wax, while deep umber shadow swallows the rest of the canvas. Soot black, candle ochre and cool grey stone give this expressive oil painting a quiet, gothic stillness.
