My mom has for a long time been offering to buy me a piece of original art. She morbidly says it'll be for me to remember her by. We've been to many art shows and galleries together looking around for just the right piece. I've come close a few times, but this past weekend I finally found what will be part one of my deadly gifts.
It's actually a crow and not a raven. I guessed wrong, but was corrected by the artist. We picked it up going on the Haliburton Artisan tour that takes place over the Thanksgiving weekend. My brother picked up a lady holding a glass, and last year my parents got a three little birdies on a post that goes in the garden. So that's probably it for us buying from him but it's been well worth it. The artist is clearly massively talented. I don't quite have the right spot for this fella' in my current space, but he will eventually find his proper home. I still have some funds left over to get a painting when I find the right one.

That's awesome! Crows are wicked smart birds too. Very cool find :D
hehe i like the way he's standing. fyi there are currently crows that i've been feeding giving me that same look through the window here. did you see that docu about crows? i can't remember who i was talking to that had also seen it. it said they can think ahead, using three successive steps with tools to get to their food, they get the days of the week thing, always knowing what day's garbage day, and facial recognition of humans. Sim's right, they are pretty smart.
and don't bother buying a painting, there's so many art galleries for us to...uh...visit....and buy....reproductions....from....
