The raven meets the viewer head on and holds the gaze. Painted in heavy, deliberate strokes, the feathers move from deep black through slate and bone, with traces of old gold beneath the wings. The background recedes into shadow so the bird carries the whole canvas.
The Oracle belongs to The Watchers, a Pennywell series of animal portraits painted to be looked at, and to look back.
Each piece is produced to order. Available as a fine art print, a hand-stretched canvas, or a framed canvas in a black or oak float frame.
