They come to me late at night, when my mind is empty and I'm sleepy. All were painted late at night in an ecstatic rush. They all glowed on the easle like a finished sword ready to be quenched.

I have always held ravens and crows in high regard. For the celts they were messengers. I believe the message changes for each viewer. I won't see a subject with the same semantical filters as anyone else. All I know is when they come, they bring magic.

[🧵 1/2] "Is that black thing on the wall up there a bird, or just a black thing?" I asked my brother Rob. There had been a family of near that spot earlier, so we slowly approached—and found that one of the youngsters had been left behind.

Started to attempt learning Irish today. It is a very different and complex way of speaking, but I am determined to learn it. My brain is smoking just a bit but I can sort of recognize words in the song Oro (the rebell song) now. How do you say 'bless your heart' in Irish? 🤪

I will now go paint some more ravens or maybe an eagle to cool off...

😅🥴😅

    In case you need a smile, check out this cute video. And remember that #corvidae (#crows, #ravens, #rooks, etc.) are wicked-smart and deserve your respect.
