Crow

Year of Wildlife - Week 19: CROW

Since crows (and Ravens) are typically used as symbols within life and death, I initially came up with a more dark yet still soulful version against the same inspirational 'The Scream of Nature' backdrop.

Thanks to my Hub--Buddy for life, who always guides me in shining the light on the positive more than anything else, I ended up coming up with this piece which honors the incredible and underated intelligence that crows - corvids - hold.

I think the title 'The Scream of Nature' can still hold true for my version with a different perspective in mind. 😉
