The Raven symbolizes the dark and difficult aspects of life, which is a part of life we often misunderstand and rarely effectively deal with. The dark aspects are not bad or evil, as it is necessary to go through a process of darkness in order to emerge in the light. Dark comes before light, healing is preceded by illness, the storm eventually transforms to calm and so on. The Raven reminds us of the need for this balance, and that without accepting the full integration of the cycle of dark and light, we cannot truly heal.

Deborha Kerr
What a great painting. I love how your paintings tell a story!
Antony Galbraith replied:

Beautiful job! A perfect rendition. Congratulations!
Antony Galbraith replied:
Thanks Carol! This painting almost painted itself. I find this happens often when I paint the Crow or Raven!
