Raven carries this locket, clutched safely in his talons, higher and higher...over bare treetops, into the hushed nightfall. He would not tell me if he was a thief, or merely returning this precious heirloom to its rightful owner. This is an original acrylic painting; it is tall and thin- measures 10" x 24' x 1" on gallery wrapped canvas. Ready to hang- no frame needed; sides are painted black. Full signature, title, and date are on the back, initialed on the front. Much nicer in person. Watermark does not appear on the original piece.
