Tiny Silly Things

Last week I saw a massive raven in my yard stealing robins' eggs. 

Then he swallowed them whole.

What a trickster!

Whenever I paint, I clean my paint brushes off onto thick paper. And this week I was day dreaming of ravens.

I then use these painted papers to create collages, smaller paintings and bookmarks.
