DESERT DREAMS

THE RAVEN

15X30 ACRYLIC ON CHUNKY CANVAS

A striking scene of a raven perched on a saguaro cactus against a golden desert sunset. The raven's feathers shimmer with blue-gold leaf accents. This painting was inspired by a vivid dream I had shortly before my father's passing, making it a deeply personal piece about loss, healing, and the mysterious connections between life and art.

Key elements:

  • Raven with detailed, shimmering feathers

  • Saguaro cactus with delicate blossoms

  • Vibrant sunset colors

  • Personal connection to grief and healing

Desert Dreams collection started out as an art show with my daughter at a local gallery. I started these paintings and created my own collection. These were painted during a very difficult time in my life. My art saved me during this time, my soul, tears and emotions are in these paintings. The originals are not for sale, but I have some lovely prints available in 15X30 or 12X24. The prints have some gold leaf touches to give them the look and feel of the originals.
