this too shall pass.

This is one of the pieces I’ve seen with a distinctive style which is quite inspiring due to the fact that time and craftsmanship both come into play, to deliver such a masterpiece. Though without the technical skills and artistic abilities of the artist, this wouldn’t be a masterpiece, and we tend to forget the artist when a piece of work is being viewed, it is that the art consumes us in ways that we believe we are living in the world which created by the artist, to even realized that it was done by someone in our time period, in this life time, or those living before us.

Upon closer inspection I see the details of branches that overlapping one another, creating depth and small patterns of beautiful undecided direction spreading out throughout the piece. The little dots of triad colors are there to give an effect of the piece being a fantasy than a reality, an image of that from both but the visual image took place in the mind and heart of the artist.

The birds are looking at one another, the bottom raven looks up directing the viewer’s eyes to the one in the middle, and the middle raven looks at the one above him to the right, and the one to the right looking off into space, or perhaps he’s looking back at the tree of which he is sitting on.

The tree itself to me seem a bit small, or perhaps the ravens are those giant ones that overwhelms the appearances of the tree, as if instead of the tree being the giant the birds will be instead. A reverse psychology, or reverse universe of its own reality. Like a short guy seem to get picked on by a bigger buy whom has a bouncer physique then again the short guy could be the boss and the big guy has a sensitive emotions. The world is as opposite as it is direct. Reverse and forward. Although it being this there’s still balance among the piece.

The movement here guided by the way the ravens stands, and the way their head pointed to, the tree is static, yet the branches allows the viewer’s eyes to roam about closely inspecting all the numerous tiny details that are in place.

This is one of the pieces that I wish to have in my home. Keep up the good work.

Next time I want your opinion, I'll give it to you.

Thanks a lot! I would like to make a print of it but I need a better photograph first. The painting itself is quite big, which obviously means you cannot fit it in a scanner We first need to shoot a proper photograph of it, then scan it and then upload it into Deviant Art in a digital form. It didn't actually take me a few days, but years instead. I wasn't working on it constantly, only whenever I felt like escaping a bit from reality and doing something that relaxes me!

Again, thanks

The tree consists of 4 trees actually. I painted the one over the other. I started with darker colours and ended up with lighter ones. Since I wanted to put contrast to it, I had the idea with the ravens. I adore ravens! They are very clever, beautiful and mysterious too. I do not find them macabre like some people believe they are - I rather connect them with nature, with which I have been much closer during my childhood, living in a rural district.

I do not know what else to say, it looks like you already said whatever one could say. Very sensitively, you noticed details that are normally unnoticed.

I appreciate the time you put into watching, as well as commenting this piece! And not only the time... You offered a very beautiful critique, facing the painting very positively... Thanks a lot!

PS: Yes, the ravens are the giant ones!

thanks

thank you very much, both for your kind words as well as for the fav!
