REFERENCE: The Raven painting The Raven needed to be a lighter value of a black bird than the background ink splashses or he would appear to be on the same plane as the background and flatten the entire piece. The statue and the bird are both done a bit lighter/paler than the bg colors for that reason.

Thank you for the kind review of the Horse painting. When I was in the fourth grade, I drew my first horse; loved em ever since.

Firstly, thank you for your most kind words concerning the work "Tribute To Poe". I have since finished the piece and invite your critique once again, on the lastest posting of this work; Re-Titled "The silenced Raven (A tribute to Poe)". It IS a tribute to Edgar Allen Poe's famous piece entitled "The Raven".
