"Raven Steals the Sun"

According to a Haida in the beginning the world was in total darkness.

The Raven, who had existed from the beginning of time, was tired of groping about and bumping into things in the dark.

Eventually the Raven came upon the home of an old man who lived alone with his daughter. Through his slyness, the Raven learned that the old man had a great treasure. This was all the light in the universe, contained in a tiny box concealed within many boxes.

At once the Raven vowed to steal the light.

Somehow this painting just evolved into this story even though it didn't start out that way. It is a story that I will most likely explore more through painting in the future.

Yes, it is another lily. Another white lily. I had started this a while ago and had to step away from the painting for a while. I stepped back and finally finished it.

Minnehaha Creek in Early Fall daily painting

This is another version of the creek in early fall with the colors starting to change. I really like this spot on the bridge overlooking the creek. Might have to continue the series into the winter at some point.

Persimmon Pair Daily Painting Still Life

I found these at the grocery store and bought them more for their subject value than the nutritional. We did however try one after I painted their portrait. It was good but somewhat bland. I don't know if that's the norm. Their looks are not bland though, I like the colors in this one, the orange of the fruit, the greens in the leaves and the teals in the cloth they sit upon. Yummy!
